Question

I have this function to check if the file is an image or not, but it always returning false

function upload_file($file) {
    if($file['type'] != "image/jpeg" || $file['type'] != "image/gif") {
                        $errors[] = "Please upload a photograph with extenstion of JPEG, JPG, GIF or BMP.";
                        return false;
    }
}

so can anyone tell me where i gone wrong here!

Thanks in advance.

You needs to use &&:

if($file['type'] != "image/jpeg" && $file['type'] != "image/gif") {

By using || you’re causing it to always be false since no image can be both a jpeg and a gif
