Well, first thing I notice is that in your form you name your file input as
"file", yet nowhere in your code do I see you getting any values from _FILES
or $file (depending on your version of PHP). So...how do you expect it to do
anything with your file if you don't tell it to?? Maybe you left out the
part of your code that does that...
Also, you set allow_file_type to 1, then you say if($allow_file_type ==
1)...well, duh, of course it's equal to one, you just set it to one...what
are you trying to accomplish with that?
Also, where is $type coming from?

Subject: [PHP] File Type not working in Uploaded File
