PHP upload

I recently used the tutorial on this page http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutorial.php?tutorial=fileupload

when I had a WinXP server. I found it easy and effective but windows was limiting me because i couldn't set file permissions. So i decided to Install linux, and by golly, It's Fantastic. I got FTP, Apache, Samba, DNS, SMTP, IMAP, POP3 and Webmail all up and working. And now I can set file permissions, and the upload script from the tutorial works now. However there is one restriction i would like to know how to add. This upload tutorial doesn't limit what file type to upload. I would like to be able to only let .ZIP files 1MB or less to be uploaded. CAn anybody point me in the right direction?? or tell me how to add this funciton to the php script?

thanks

Michael

just check the file name

PHP:

<?php

$tmp_name = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];

if(substr($tmp_name, -3) == "zip"){
// execute code...
}
?>

something like that worked for me...

it's better if you check the mime type cause i can just rename the file to have .zip

PHP:

<?php
if($_FILES['userfile']['type'] != "application/zip") {
echo "this ain't no zip";
} else {
// upload code
}
?>

true. good call. I'm used to working for morons that don't know how to rename files so that never really was a problem.

hrm.

I tried to add that code you said and heres what i have.

Code:

<?php

if($_FILES['userfile']['type'] != "application/zip") {
echo "this ain't no zip";
} else {
if(!(copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "uploads/" . $_FILES['userfile']['name']))) die("Cannot upload files.");
echo "Upload Complete!";
}
?>

now even if i try to upload a zip file, it says "this ain't no zip!"

any help?
