Re: [users@httpd] Very Very strange problem in opensuse 11.1, file
uploading reports "not an image file"
There are a couple of choices to debug here.
First, the code you supplied is comparing the mime-type parameters
obtained from the call to:
$upload_file_type = $GLOBALS
['HTTP_POST_FILES']['profile_image']['type'];
So, first I would echo $upload_file_type and see what it is actually
getting.
Second, in_array() is case sensitive - see if the mime-type is somehow
getting upper case; the $file_type_list function may be converting to
upper.
Third, what is the client doing to set the mime-type? This is probably
OK (why mentioned it last) but maybe the type of the upload files is
not being set correctly/at all?
Also, I checked and $GLOBALS simply lists ALL variables in global scope.
So, somewhere you should have a function extracting 'HTTP_POST_FILES'
from the POST data. (global variable $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA). You might
want to check that. Try printing out the $GLOBALS array and see if
there is a variable in it called HTTP_POST_FILES using print_r(). This
will print the array member name => array member value which should
help.
You will have to do more but at least knowing where the problem is is a
good start!

Though in debian server the folders do have all the uploaded files. Regarding the script, I have found codes which are actually doing the upload (though I am not a php coder)

No, sorry I can't help you there unfortunately. I'm not a very
experienced PHP coder either; I just used it to create a basic web
server. I don't do uploads so no samples available.
I noticed certain items in your code the linked it to the mime-type and
figured that if you can echo what is actually happening so you can see
it, then you can fix it.
You might be able to get some help at:
http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/index.php
the PHP online manual. It has a lot of sample code contributed by users.

Hello,
Thanks for your kind response and clarification. Regarding debug I have
a good idea rather than flipping through the code written by some one
else because I am not a php coder and hope you will also like it.
I have only and only one option. Check with a php code that file can be
uploaded with the same filetype check used in the previous code and if
it fails then find out why so. Can I get a simple image uploader php
code with the file type checking and some good echo to see what is
actually happening in the net ? And if the code can do its job
successfully then it might be not a server side problem. Can you
suggest me any link which provides such a code ? In the mean time I am
also looking for it through google but getting a direction from the
experienced one is always great.
