PHP - Image File Extension In Thumbnail

I have a page using forms to help build listing templates for eBay. I have a folder where I have hundreds of logos stored. I know the logo names but not their extensions. . . . I have to test each potential (jpg, jpeg, gif, png, etc.) until I guess right. Here is an example code for the web form: <form action="extension_test2.php" method="post">
<p>Logo: <input name="e" value="" type="text" size="15" maxlength="30" /><p>
<input name="Submit" type="Submit"/>
</form>   and the form's result: <?

$e =$_POST['e'];

if(!empty($e)) {
echo '<img src="http://www.gbamedica...ebayimg/logos/'.$e.'">';
};

?>   Here is a link to the example: http://www.gbamedica...ension_test.php Use "olympus.jpg" for test. I am looking for code that can determine the file type and dynamically add the extension. Can it be done?

Folks,

I am building a membership script for 21 months now!!! That long!!!
Anyway, I need members to say infront of their cams a few things and then upload the vid file to the site (from the confirm_id.php page) where the member's sponsor (recruiter) will get the video copy to check if it's the real person with the real personal details or not. If true details, then sponsor verifies the member account. Else, unverifies it.
Now, I been testing my code. I uploaded an mp4 file. That should be ok but I get echoed:
"There was a problem uploading your video file $file_name! Make sure your file is an MP4 or a WAV file. You may try again now." 
Why ?

Not pasting the whole script as really long. Would do your head in.
Only pasting relevant part:

    { 
        if(!isset($_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]))  //REtype

        else 
        { 
            $id_verification_video_file = $_FILES['id_verification_video_file']; //REtype
            //Feed Id Video Verification File Upload Directory Path. 
            $directory_path = "uploads/videos/id_verifications/";

Can you spot my coding error ?
Any other errors ?
How-about you show me code sample how you'd do it better and simpler with as much less lines of codes as possible ?

So, I'm learning how to upload pictures into a system from my awesome PHP book. I've looked and looked through the script but I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

Goal:
The script is meant to save a full version of the image in the images folder and a thumbnail in the thumbnail folder.
Bug:
The full image does not appear in any folder, and the thumbnail is created but its put in the images folder.

I've checked the GD library, and everything is supported.

Any help appreciated.

I have a variable that holds the name of a File...
Code: [Select]
$origFileName = $_FILES['userPhoto']['name'];

What is the best way to just get the File Name from this?


Debbie

Hi, how do I extract just file extension?

eg:
$file="hello.xml";

$fileExt=???

print $fileExt;

Any help much appreciated!
