Question

I just tested this simple php file upload script. Works in all browsers except IE 🙁

IE prints “FILETYPE NOT SUPPORTED” as defined inside code:

if (isset($_POST['add'])) {

  $order = $_POST['display_order'];
  $img = $HTTP_POST_FILES['imagefile']['name'];
  $url = $_POST['url'];

  // CONNECT TO DB
  mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
  @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");


  $types = array('image/jpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png', 'image/tiff', 'image/bmp', 'image/pjpeg');  
  $target_path = "media/";
  $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['imagefile']['name']); 

  if (in_array($_FILES['imagefile']['type'], $types)) {

    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {

      mysql_query(
        "INSERT INTO slider_luxury
           (display_order, imagefile, url) 
         VALUES
           ('$order', '$img', '$url')"
      );

      header('Location: luxury_slider.php');

    } else {

      echo "There was an error uploading the slide, please try again!"; 

    }

  } else {

    echo "FILETYPE NOT SUPPORTED";

  }  

}

It means that IE send the png with another MIME type than “image/png” which is what you are expecting. Try to add to your array of accepted values:

 image/x-png
