I made this form:

```
   <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="php/handler.php" method="post" name="uploaderform">
    <table>
    <tr><td align="right">File:</td><td><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000"/><input type="file" name="filetoup" id="zzz"/></td></tr>
    <tr><td align="right">Folder:</td><td><select id="category" name="category"><option value="foo/">some</option><option value="poo/">some2</option></select></td></tr>
    <tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Upload" /></td></tr>
    </table>
  </form>

```

and this PHP script:

```
if((exif_imagetype($_FILES["filetoup"]["tmp_name"])==IMAGETYPE_GIF)
||(exif_imagetype($_FILES["filetoup"]["tmp_name"])==IMAGETYPE_JPEG)
||(exif_imagetype($_FILES["filetoup"]["tmp_name"])==IMAGETYPE_PNG)
&&($_FILES["filetoup"]["size"]<2000000)){
if($_FILES["filetoup"]["error"]>0)
    echo $_FILES["filetoup"]["error"];
else {

    if(isset($_FILES["filetoup"]["name"]))
        $target_path=$folder . basename($_FILES["filetoup"]["name"]);
    else
        echo "Choose a file";

    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["filetoup"]["tmp_name"],$target_path))
        echo $_FILES["filetoup"]["name"] . "uploaded";
    else
        echo "Either you fucked up or I did";
    }
 }else{
echo "read whats under the form";
 }

```

and I can only upload .jpeg files, .gif and .png are not accepted and I get this error:

```
Warning: exif_imagetype() [function.exif-imagetype]: Filename cannot be empty in      C:\xampp\htdocs\atthepc\php\handler.php on line 7

```

I think that it's something from my form, because I can upload .jpeg without any errors but .gif and .png not. If I'm not right, what then is causing this? And is there a solution or am I doing everything wrong?

And finally, are .jpg recognized as .jpeg's?

/edit

i dont think i explained myself correctly, if i try to upload a jpeg file, it works fine but if i try any other file type it gives me Filename cannot be empty in , so my form doesnt want to accept the gif and send it through post, its like the post is empty. why is thsi happening?

//edit
and yes that is it, i tried this

```
$something=$_FILES["filetoup"]["tmp_name"];
var_dump($something);

```

and it gives me string(0) "" . the form doesnt want to accept it but why? i did not put any restriction in the form.

///edit

i found my problem, it was not accepting any other file type because what i was trying to upload was too big(animated gif) and the max\_file\_size was too little.
