If wrong file is uploaded

Hi,
check $_FILES["value_ImageFieldName"]["name"] variable in the Before record added/updated events for this purpose.

Could you please elaborate. I tried doing and could not do it properly...
How do I achieve checking of filetypes?

Could you please elaborate. I tried doing and could not do it properly...

$file = "test.jpg";
// yields jpg

$ext = basename( $n=substr($file, strpos($file, '.')+1) );
$images = array( 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png' );
if( in_array($ext, $images) ){

echo "Files is an image";

} else {

echo "Error - file is not an image";

}

Hi,
I tried doing the above.
However, the image field is set to create thumbnails and that is executed first. Since that code gives a PHP error "imagecreatefromstring() [function.imagecreatefromstring]: Data is not in a recognized format", the code for checking of the file extension becomes redundant.
Is it possible to give a pop-up for non-image content before the thumbnail creation starts so the user can correct it?

Hi,
thank you for pointing me to this bug.

We'll fix it in the next update.
To make your pages working open C:/Program Files/PHPRunner4.2/source/include/commonfunctions.php file, locate CreateThumbnail function, find this line:

$img = imagecreatefromstring($value);

and replace it with this one:

$img = @imagecreatefromstring($value);

Hi Jane,

Thanks for help.

The above change did not make any difference.
Currently this is my BeforeUpdate event...

$file = $_FILES["value_Photo2"]["name"];

And I have changed the commonfunctions code.
Pls help me if I am going wrong somewhere...

It's difficult to tell you what's happening without seeing actual files.
Please publish your project on Demo Account and send to support@xlinesoft.com a URL to your pages along with instructions on reproducing this error.

I'll find what's wrong with your project inspecting it at Demo account site.

Could you please elaborate. I tried doing and could not do it properly...

It's actually easy.
First of all, there is a logical error in ( _edit.php ) file created.

These two lines from mine ()
$ext = CheckImageExtension($_FILES["[color=#999999]value_logo"]["name"]);

$thumb = CreateThumbnail($value,80,$ext);
Although function name starts with "check", returning value "false" is ignored.
Let me explain what to do:
1- in the commonfunctions.php ()

function CreateThumbnail($value, $size, $ext)

2- in the Before record added/updated events ()

$ext = CheckImageExtension($_FILES["[color=#666666]value_logo"]["name"]);

2- in the Before record added/updated events (*)

Some modification is needed for allowing blank field to proceed.

$_FILES["value_logo"]["name"] = trim($_FILES["value_logo"]["name"]);

There is a bug:

If you put only some spaces (or spaces before/after the file name) in this field, an error occurs.

Field value must be trimmed before proceed to upload.
Best Regards,

Mustafa
