PHP - Mime Type Using Just Php?
Is it not possible to get the mime type for a file uploaded using php? Am I going to be forced to use Pear? Php can read the mime type from an image, so why not from any file??
Similar TutorialsProbably a stupid question . . .
The MIME type in my php.ini file is set to text/html:
default_mimetype = "text/html"But, because I use XHTML 1.0 Strict, the MIME type of my web pages is set to text/xml: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/xml; charset=utf-8" />I should therefore change the php.ini MIME type to text/xml, right? Hello, i have an upload form witch i cannot upload pdf it does not recognize the mine pdf type, any help please. here is the code $target_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/admin/upload/'; $target = "upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']; $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); $fileSize = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['size']; $fileType = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['type']; if ($_FILES['uploadedfile']['size'] > 0) { if (($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/gif") || ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/png" ) || ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "application/msword" ) || ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "application/pdf" ) && ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["size"] < 512000)) { move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path); $query_upload="INSERT INTO upload (upload, chair, id_domeniu, email_1) VALUES ('" . $target . $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] . "', '3', '$id_domeniu', '".$_GET['email_1']."')"; $query_upload="UPDATE domenii SET upload='" . $target . $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] . "' WHERE email_1='".$email_1."'"; mysql_query($query_upload) or die(mysql_error()); } else { echo "<script language='javascript'>alert('Programul uploadat trebuie sa fie PDF, DOC, JPEG si mai mic de 500 kilobytes.');window.location = 'javascript:history.go(-1)';</script >"; exit(); } } Hi all I am having a problem with an error message firing all the time? Code: [Select] if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] != "application/zip")) || (($_FILES["file"]["type"] != "application/x-zip-compressed")) || (($_FILES["file"]["type"] != "application/x-zip"))) { header('Location: scontrol.php?alert=notzip'); } This is firing when I try uploading a zip, I have 2 questions, have I missed a MIME type (using Chrome) and is a Winrar ZIP different from a standard zip (its not a .rar file!) Thanks hi there, i am fairly new to OOPs in php, i get an error when i declare the argument type (as object) in a function and pass the same type (object). class eBlast { public static function getEmail(object $result) { return $result->email; } } $r = mysql_fetch_object($query); eBlast::getEmail($r); echo gettype($r); // outputs: object error is : Code: [Select] Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to eBlast::getEmail() must be an instance of object, instance of stdClass given, called in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\admin\send_emails.php on line 145 and defined in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\app\app.eBlast.php on line 8 if i remove the type declaration in the function it works, but just would like to know why it shows error when pass the same type, also isnt mysql_fetch_object is the instance of stdclass? thanks in advance! hi all new to php and having a sturggle with email.
I have a a form that when completed I wish to auto email the results to a new member simple enough . i also create a image with their unique name and member type and attach this to the email. I can attach the image and send an html email however I wish to send a plain text email along with this.
here lies the problem.
$to = $email ;
$subject = 'some subject';
$bound_text = "010103689954";
$bound = "--".$bound_text."\r\n";
$bound_last = "--".$bound_text."--\r\n";
$headers = "From: <snip email removed>\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
."Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$bound_text\"";
$message .= "If you can see this MIME than your client doesn't accept MIME types!\r\n"
.$bound;
/*HTML part of email*/
$message .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
$message .="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$message .='<html><b>html version</b></html>\r\n'
.$bound;
/*Plain Text part of email*/
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
$message .="Plain text version\r\n"
.$bound;
/*Attachment part of the email adds jpeg memebrship card*/
$file = file_get_contents("create_membership_card.php?forename=$Forename&surname=$Surname&membership=$Membership");
$message .= "Content-Type: image/jpg; name=\"YourMembershipCard.jpg\"\r\n"
."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
."Content-disposition: attachment; file=\"YourMembershipCard.jpg\"\r\n"
."\r\n"
.chunk_split(base64_encode($file))
.$bound_last;
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)
This will send email in html and attach image but I can not get it to also send the plain/test version.
example page to enter email and see what is sent http://www.hexhamcan....php?page=Email
Any help with this would be great thanks in advance hope I have provided enough information
Lee ps. great place you have here
Edited by mac_gyver, 29 May 2014 - 07:26 PM. removed email address I sent an MIME email to an outlook account using Mail() and the HTML part was placed as an attachment for some reason. I dont get caught by most spam filters (just outlook and my school) but I wanted to get this worked out so I dont get caught by any spam filters. Can someone please take a look at my email system below and let me know if everything looks correct? Just in case you need this; I am using PostFix, Zimbra, running on Debian 6.0 (php5) //add From: header $headers = 'From:' . $from . "\n"; $headers .= 'Reply-To:' . $from .

I have acquired a wordpress plugin from a guy to deal with ticketing. From this plugin I am sending out a Mime multipart message with both HTML and plain text code. Here's the thing: If I send this out via gmail's SMTP server the message appears perfectly, however if I send it out via pro.turbo-smtp.com it arrives as an attachment due to the fact that in transit it seems to have lost it's Mime-Version: and Content-type: headers such as displayed below: Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 16:02:28 +0000 Return-Path: <REMOVEDADDRESS> To: REMOVEDADDRESS From: Name Here <REMOVEDADDRESS> Reply-To: Subject: Booking Confirmation Message-ID: <edc5de8156becec1bf53e402b25c9b93@REMOVED.co.uk> X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.2.7 (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/) MIME-Version: Content-Type: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit --Part_A_aaa4586399e49459e0dce4368165275f Hey Mr A Sample, Thank you for booking with us.I am more than positive that this is not a PHP issue due to it appearing fine via google's SMTP server, but I am just wondering if anyone has ever came across such a thing and if anyone can shed any light? If anyone wants the PHP code I'm sure I can supply. Many thanks in advance!, Chris I have a scenario where users are downloading files from a legacy system and uploading the files into a new system that I am supporting. Many of the files do not have an extension (most are tiffs).
The issue we have is that the new system doesn't know how to open these files (we have them open in a preview window in the new system). I have tried numerous solutions, including finfo_file() and the depreciated mime_content_type() funcitons), but all they seem to return is "application/octet-stream".
Thanks.
I recently changed something in an old script of mine and it doesn't work properly anymore. I don't know what I did, and I don't have a backup, oops!

The email gets sent, and the source of the email looks identical to that of previous correctly displayed versions, but for some reason the email reader no longer renders the html, instead it just shows plain text, so it looks like the source just without headers - e.g.: Quote From: whoever@wherever.com To: friend@bestfriend.com --PHP-mixed-643f51499c414383c5735473100462e4 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary='PHP-alt-643f51499c414383c5735473100462e4' --PHP-alt-643f51499c414383c5735473100462e4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset='iso-8859-1'; Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Joe sent you a jCard, click the attachment to view it.

So I think it's an issue with the headers or boundary string I'm using, but they look alright to me, I just can't see what I've done wrong. Any ideas? Hey Guys, How are custom Mime Types achieved? Had a quick search through the forums, and most of the posts relate to mail() questions. Did a google search and found a completely useless article that told me to edit a non-existent text box. Quick example, the file type I want is .WAgame, I got this far before I realised what I was doing didn't make sense. So I looked up mime types, knowing that this file would not exist. if ($_FILES["file"]["type"] != "file/WAgame") { naughty! } Help! Edit: I'm working on a two-file upload form and want to be able to check the mime types of two filenames in a string variable.
The code below was working when the variable @resume_path contained just one filename. How can I modify this to accommodate two files?
when I echo $resume_path, I get, for example: cover_letter_centerline.doc, cover_letter_ctg.doc
Thanks!
//DO NOT TRUST $_FILES['upfile']['mime'] VALUE !!
//Check MIME Type by yourself.
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
if (false === $ext = array_search(
$finfo->file($_FILES['resume_path']['tmp_name']),
array(
'txt' => 'text/plain',
'doc' => 'application/msword',
'pdf' => 'application/pdf',
),
true
)) {
throw new RuntimeException('Invalid file format.');
}
echo "Sorry, invalid file format. Please try again.";
echo $ext;
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this. Bob G. BACKGROUND: I have an app that is hosted on Host Monster and its script includes a Class that is supposed to send MIME emails with or without attachments using only MIME types text, html, and image. It was working fine. I hadn't worked with or on it for about two months then found, last week, that it would no longer send emails even though the script runs without any Warnings. I've worked on this for several days now and I'm stuck. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: When the script runs, it should send a simple text only email to a given email address and an more complex email that requires html and an in-line image in the body and an attachment with the same image. The image type is jpeg. ACTUAL BEHAVIOR: The script runs to completion with no Warning but sends neither of the two emails. CODE: Attached and cc'd below is a script which mimics the code in my app and the actual behavior described above but only for the simple email mentioned above. To simplify debug I've commented out that part of the script that should send out the more complex email mentioned above. Note: You can run the script by going to http://www.unitresearch03.com/Admin/SendUserEmailHM01.php Note: Line 6 can be changed to your own email address for testing BEGIN CODE: Code: [Select] <?php //TOP LINE CODE ////SIMPLE MIME EMAIL CODE - NO ATTACHMENTS ////////////////////////////////////////////// $mail = new mime_mail ; $mail->from = "ragsr@ix.netcom.com" ; $mail->to = "ragsr@ix.netcom.com" ; $mail->subject = "SIMPLE MIME EMAIL - NO ATTACHMENTS" ; $mail->body = "SIMPLE MIME EMAIL BODY" ; $mail->send() ; ////END OF SIMPLE MIME EMAIL CODE //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////START MIME EMAIL CODE - ALLOWS ATTACHEMENTS ///////////////////////////////////////////////// //SIMPLE SEND EMAIL PG.448 PHP REFERENCE PLUS ATTACHMENT EXAMPLE FROM SAME PAGE //include "mime_mail.inc"; //THIS CAUSED A WARNING AND, APPARENTLY, IS NOT REQUIRED.

I'm having a huge issue right now decoding a zip file from an attachment with a content-encoding of quoted-printable. I have tried a couple different methods (such as decoding the entire attachment or decoding it line by line), but none have produced a valid file when saved. What I don't understand is that I can download and open the file in Outlook fine, so there must be something wrong with the decoder. Here is a code snippet of my recent attempt:
elseif ($transferEncoding == 'quoted-printable'){
$fileError = true;
$attachmentParts = explode("\n", $currentPart->getContent());
$attachmentArray = array();
foreach ($attachmentParts as $line){
array_push($attachmentArray, quoted_printable_decode($line));
}
$attachment = implode("", $attachmentArray);
file_put_contents($unzipPath . '.zip', $attachment);
}
$unzipper = new Decompress(array(
'adapter' => 'Zip',
'options' => array(
'target' => $unzipPath,
)
));
$unzipper->filter($unzipPath . '.zip');
unlink($unzipPath . '.zip');
I'm using Zend Framework 2 methods for unzipping the file when it's done, but there is a CRC error because the file is getting corrupted during the decode.
This is how the file compares to the original (using Beyond Compare 3):
So it is finding the hex for CLRF and removing it from the file.
Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to solve this for about a month now.
Thanks,

I am trying to eliminate this issue but I have had no luck here is my current code: Code: [Select] $from = 'help@my.com'; $body = "<html>\n"; $body .= "<body style=\"font-family:Verdana, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\">\n"; $body .= $message; $body .= "</body>\n"; $body .= "</html>\n"; $boundary = uniqid('np'); $semi_rand = md5(time()); $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x"; $headers = "From: $from"; $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" ."Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\n" ." boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\""; $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/html; \n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $body . "\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}--\n"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, '-f'.$from); I have tried adding the plain text part but nothing has worked, could someone else look at this and show me what I need to add so that it has the text/plain MIME part as well? Hello to all out there! this is my first post,so my question may sound a bit simple. :] I am studying PHP and MySQL and I tried to make a mailing form based on a mysql database. My problem occured when I tried to use the PEAR mail object. Here is my code: // THE INCLUDED FILES require_once ("attach_file.php" ); require_once ("Mail.php" ); require_once ("Mail\mime.php" ); //THE VARIABLES TAKEN FROM THE HTML FORM OR JUST CREATED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EMAIL $my_email = "something@gmail.com"; $email_subject = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_subject']),$server_connect ); $email_body = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_body'] ),$server_connect ); $attached_file = $destination ; // the $destination variable comes from the copy() function in attach_file.php $username = "the_username@gmail.com"; $password = "the_password"; $host = "smtp.gmail.com"; $attach = new Mail_mime(); $attach -> addAttachment($attached_file); $email_body = $attach->get(); $extraheaders = array('from'=>$my_email,'to'=>$email_etaireias,'subject'=>$email_subject,'Bcc'=>$email_etaireias); $headers = $attach -> $headers($extraheaders); // HERE GIVES ME AN ERROR!!! -->Fatal error: Method name must be a string $smtp_info = array('host'=>$host,'auth'=>TRUE,'username'=>$username,'password'=>$password); $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',$smtp_info); //loop through every single line of the database until there are no more lines with data //and store each line in 3 different variables that i can use while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { $onoma_etaireias = $row['onoma_etaireias']; $email_etaireias = $row['email_etaireias']; $website_etaireias = $row['website_etaireias']; } //construct the mail function . The @ is supressing the errors created .remove it and they will be shown. $mail = @$smtp->send($email_etaireias,$headers,$email_body); As i searched here and there for a solution, i found that it has something to do with the way the mail-mime object creates the body of the email . I also tried to find a solution from the PEAR documentation. do i create the headers someway wrong????? I have a Form and need to loop through 10 fields on it. Which Looping Structure would be best and why? In PHP, I believe my choices are... - For Each - Do While - While Thanks, Debbie Hey In my spare time, I am working on my PHP framework. Now, to help with development and quickly discover where I miss a type cast, I have adopted to check all parameters that are passed to a method using a function. For instance: public function __construct(&$target = null, $depth = 1){ $this->validateArguments( array(1 => 'int'), array(1 => $depth) ); And the code that triggers the exception: public function testPhpFreakType(){ $obj = 1; $p = new Xcms_DataStructures_Pointer($obj, "1"); } Code: [Select] 0: |--------------------------------------------------| 1: |--Exception: 4cfe2e86ca5970.22624423 - Full Trace | 2: | Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:54:30 +0100 3: |-Class: 4: | Xcms_Exceptions_InvalidArgument 5: |-Message: 6: | Argument #1 of Xcms_DataStructures_Pointer:__construct() is no _null:int 7: | Stack offset: 3 8: | 9: |-Trace 10: | #0 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\exceptions\invalid.argument.helper.class.php(133): Xcms_Exceptions_InvalidArgumentHelper::factory(1, '_null:int', NULL, 2) 11: | #1 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\basic.class.php(80): Xcms_Exceptions_InvalidArgumentHelper::validateArguments(Array, Array, Array, 1) 12: | #2 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\data.structures\pointer.class.php(49): Xcms_Basic->validateArguments(Array, Array) 13: | #3 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\data.structures\pointer.test.php(73): Xcms_DataStructures_Pointer->__construct(1, '1') 14: | #4 [internal function]: Xcms_DataStructures_PointerTest->testPhpFreakType() 15: | #5 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase.php(737): ReflectionMethod->invokeArgs(Object(Xcms_DataStructures_PointerTest), Array) 16: | #6 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase.php(627): PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase->runTest() 17: | #7 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\PHPUnit\Framework\TestResult.php(629): PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase->runBare() 18: | #8 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase.php(575): PHPUnit_Framework_TestResult->run(Object(Xcms_DataStructures_PointerTest)) 19: | #9 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\PHPUnit\Framework\TestSuite.php(766): PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase->run(Object(PHPUnit_Framework_TestResult)) 20: | #10 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\PHPUnit\Framework\TestSuite.php(742): PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite->runTest(Object(Xcms_DataStructures_PointerTest), Object(PHPUnit_Framework_TestResult)) 21: | #11 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\testing\manager.class.php(83): PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite->run() 22: | #12 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\testing\manager.class.php(56): Xcms_Testing_Manager->testClass(Object(ReflectionClass)) 23: | #13 D:\www\xcms_rev\cache\pkg\scripting\script_1.php(3): Xcms_Testing_Manager->run(Object(Xcms_Url_DefaultRequest)) 24: | #14 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\util.lib.php(340): include('D:\www\xcms_rev...') 25: | #15 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\packages\scripting\controllers\scripting.controller.php(66): Xcms_Util::sandboxedInclude('cache/pkg/scrip...', Array) 26: | #16 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\mvc\controllers\default.controller.php(210): Xcms_Packages_Scripting_Controllers_ScriptingController->execute(Object(Xcms_Packages_Scripting_Models_ScriptModel), Object(Xcms_Templating_Context)) 27: | #17 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\mvc\controllers\default.controller.php(170): Xcms_Mvc_Controllers_DefaultController->runScript(1, 0, Object(Xcms_Templating_Context)) 28: | #18 D:\www\xcms_rev\core\mvc\controllers\default.controller.php(132): Xcms_Mvc_Controllers_DefaultController->runScripts(0, 0, Array, Array, 1, 0) 29: | #19 D:\www\xcms_rev\index.php(15): Xcms_Mvc_Controllers_DefaultController->run() 30: | #20 {main} 31: |--------------------------------------------------| I think this speeds up my development quite a bit, because I can catch errors very early in the development process. I can give multipe possibilities of what is allowed for each parameter, not just a single possibility. Also, it is possible to register custom type/validity-checks on both global and local scope. One thing I do worry about, however, is the the performance. Of course, I could just make the funciton do nothing in production code, if it takes too much time, or I could write a script to remove all calls to that function. When I started learning python a while back, the concept to just code to interfaces instead of types seemed very intuitive and made my code much more flexible. Of course that is what I do with PHP as well, but I it's not entirely the same. So now, coming back at my PHP code and having introduced features of static languages such as type checking, I worry about whether that is the right approach. What are your thoughts on the matter?
