IE is known to send the mime type that matches the extension, not the contents of the file, and for .jpg images it sends a different mime to every other browser anyway, so it's pretty unreliable.

If not, you may give it a shoot to see than ! Hope this help Eric, Regards,

Hope this help Eric, Regards, But you won't be able to guarantee every IE8 user will do this, so you shouldn't develop the app in such a way that it needs to use the value in the array. Also, as I've said, there isn't much point relying on this value for any reason anyway, as it doesn't guarantee the file is actually of that type. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk With IE8, Using $_FILES the array results for ‘name’ has the name of the file but ‘type’, ‘tmp_name’ and ‘size’ are blanks. I tried enabling the “file path location” in IE8 option but the results are the same for $_FILES. Firefox works displays all the values in the $_FILES array. There must be a better way. Suggestions? Thanks, /Ernie

Thanks, /Ernie Don't use the value. There are a few different ways in PHP to get the mime type of a file, which it does based on the contents of the file and not its extension. This prevents someone from uploading an executable virus for example by just changing the last three letters of the filename. Have a look at fileinfo() for this sort of thing.
