PHP $_FILES filetype

Posted by Uncle Mad, 09-22-2007, 02:06 AM

Hi I'm trying to write a script with uploading function. Where can i find a list of all the valid naming conventions of $_FILE filetype? e.g. image/x-jpeg, application/msword etc. Help, thanks.

You're great! I just wonder. If i allow octet-stream (supposedly for msword), will i be allowing exe (undesirable) as well? But if i just use msword, will there be any occurances where doc files don't work? Reason why i asked this is that i saw from somewhere, where someone said that 70% of his msword files turned out to be msword, while the rest echoes octet-stream. Yes?
