If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I wanted to limit file types for upload.
I came up with this after a lot of looking and not finding anything on the forums.
In Processor.php I added this"
session_start();
if( ($_SESSION['security_code']==$_POST['security_code']) && (!empty($_POST['security_code'])) ) {
// File upload handling
if($_FILES['field_3']['name']!=''){
$field_3_filename = "file_3_".date("sihdmY").substr($_FILES['field_3']['name'],strlen($_FILES['field_3']['name'])-4);
if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['field_3']['tmp_name'], "./files/".$field_3_filename)){
die("File " . $_FILES['field_3']['name'] . " was not uploaded.");
}
}
//an array that contains allowed extensions only.
$allowed[] = 'jpg';
$allowed[] = 'gif';
$allowed[] = 'doc';
$allowed[] = 'rtf';
$allowed[] = 'pdf';
$allowed[] = 'jpeg';
//we get the extension from the file name !
$ext = substr($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name'], 0, -4);
