// file info

$map = "../gallery/photo";

$maxsize = 400*1024;

$filetypes = array("jpg", "jpeg", "png", "gif");

// function searches for file type

function search_extenstion($file){

$extenstion = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file, "."), 1));

return $extenstion;

}

$temporarily_file = $_FILES['photo_file']['tmp_name'];

$name = $map ."/". $_FILES['photo_file']['name'];
/*

}

if ($_FILES['foto']['size'] > $maxsize){

$readable_size = $maxsize / 1024;

$msg_error .= "the file is larger than {$readable_size}kB<br />";

}

// <-- problem

$extensie = search_extenstion($name);

if (!in_array($extenstion, $filetypes)){

$msg_error .= "this has no file extension that ends on: " . implode(", ", $filetypes);

}

if (!isSet($msg_error)){

copy($temporarily_file, $name);

}

$content = scandir($map);

foreach($content as $file){

$extensie = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file, "."), 1));

if (in_array($extensie, $filetypes)){

$list[] = $file;

}

}
}
?>
<?php
if (isSet($msg_error)) {

print $msg_error;
}
?>

r u trying this script in the Internet explorer??
if yes then u need to add some more extensions to your script..
pjpeg

also using ur script i think u r checking just the extension only, this is a wrong method of finding the file type..
u can do one more thing is that use this inbuilt function
mime_content_type


u can even try using this script

You are having a little trouble with your variable names in the following two lines of code -

$extensie = search_extenstion($name);
if (!in_array($extenstion, $filetypes)){

If you were developing and debugging php code on a system with error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini, php would help you by displaying all the errors it detects. You would save a TON of time. There would have been an undefined error message about the $extenstion variable (which is not spelled correctly anyway) since it is not the same variable name as what is being used in the line of code that is setting $extensie.
