[PHP] Checking file type when uploading
Hi! I have created a form following the PHP manual to upload files and need to restrict the upload to only PDF. How do I check the file type ($_FILES['userfile']['type']?) and where: on the form page or on the validation page? I want to be able to tell the users that their file doesn't have the right format. Thank you very much for your help! My form is : Upload this file: The validation: Catherine -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] can't retrieve more than 1 record at the time still
Thank you so much for sending me in the right direction. I've
re-written the first part of the script using PDO statements and it
works great.

Hi Again,
Following the suggestions I received from a earlier post, I've closed the
statement
while ($stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOUND))
before $stmt = NULL;
I don't get an error anymore, but still retrieve only one record.
To check that the array was being filled correctly, I inserted in several
places $ncand = count($_SESSION['numberCand']);
$ndocid = count($_SESSION['DOCIDs']);
and the count is always 0 for $ndocid and 1 for $ncand.
Now I believe that the array is not being filled, and that's why only the
last record gets processed. Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong in the for
each statement? The updated code is below.
Thank you for your help.

I'm really in need of help. I'm not a PHP programmer, but I've been given
the privilege of customizing a script written by somebody else and can't get
it to work right. I have to query 2 different tables in 2 different Oracle
10G DBs, one's mine (my_schema.my_table), the other (otherdb.other_table)
belongs to another department. In my_table, I have the doc_id and the
app_id for a record. In other_table there's the doc_id and pdf to
retrieve. The goal is to make a PDF file from each BLOB in other_table and
store them in the right directory under hash(app_id). PDO has been
installed and working, and I can connect to both DBs without a problem. If
my query limits the retrieval to one record, the script works, but if I try
to run it for all records, one pdf file is correctly created in the right
directory then I get the following error: PHP Fatal error: Call to a
member function fetch() on a non-object in /my_location/my_script.php on
line 154. It the "while ($stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOUND))" line. I've
pasted my script below. I thought my problem was that maybe I was in the
wrong directory after creation of the first pdf, but several tries changing
the directory didn't make a difference. Right now, I'm running the script
at the command line. Soon I'm going to have a few hundred records to deal
with and cannot do it one by one! Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
