With $_FILES["files"]["type"] I can upload files pdf , but I'm trying to specify that I also accept files .ai ( illustrator ) and other possible extensions, but I can not do it.
And will there be any way to visualize it on my page, as it is done with the pdf files?
My code:
if($_FILES["files"]["type"][$i]=="application/pdf" || $_FILES["files"]["type"][$i]=="application/ai") {}
To validate your AI illustrator extension you can use application/postscript .
A possible example:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['sumb'])) {
//Obtenemos imagen.
$file = $_FILES["files"];
$file_name = $file["name"];
$file_type = $file["type"];
//Comprobamos la extensión.
if ($file_type != "application/pdf" && $file_type != "application/postscript") {
echo "Tu extensión no es valido";
} else {
echo 'Tu extensión es valido';
}
}
?>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="files" />
<input type="submit" name="sumb" value="Cargar" />
</form>
To your second question, how to show a PDF in a iframe .
You could create something like this:
<object data="ruta_pdf" type="application/pdf">
<embed src="ruta_pdf" type="application/pdf" />
</object>
Source SO .
The first question is solved in a simple way:
<!-- language: lang-html -->
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="nombre_campo" type="file" accept="token_tipos_aceptados"
multiple="1" /><!-- 1 para indicar que acepta varios archivos -->
<input type="submit" name="btncargar" value="Cargar" />
</form>
Where token_tipos_aceptados must be a space-separated string of identifiers of supported file types, conforming to the html specification recommended by W3C . When you click on browse to find the files to load, the browser will only show files of the indicated types.
If multiple=1 is specified, the browser will accept loading several files simultaneously into a single input element. But, be careful because the superglobal $ _FILES passes them with a format of arrangement quite different from the usual.
