Have you ever written a file upload validation? What methods seem
to work for you? I have tried PHP mime type, but ran into problems
where the OS thinks its one things and php thinks its another. I
have some jepgs uploaded that recive no mime type. I have also
tried the linux file command and it works ok, but with no great
success.
My main application uses latex, and latex only accpets system
recognized pngs and jpegs. Im thinking about using image magic to
press everything down to a jpeg, so I can then process non MIME
typed images, and gifs and such.
Have any of you written a better upload validator? Also, let me
know if any of you would like some work. Illpost on the job board.
I want to combine
http://uber-uploader.sourceforge.net/
with iamge magic for
mightyauthors.com [Deisgner is meeting with them.. so dont judge by
the cover please :)]
Mighty Authors is a Latex template system, that allows people to
fill in the gaps and write books and projects using latex2pdf
templates
In case you have not read this, it is a good read about securing file
uploads:
