Why am I getting invalid file with upload

I am using the below code for uploading, at one time it was working but now I am getting the invalid file error why?

Tim

PHP Code:


		
			
 $allowedExts = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png");

$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));

if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))

&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 2000000000000000)

&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))

  {

  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)

    {

    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";

    }

  else

    {

    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";

    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";

    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";

    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";



    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))

      {

      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";

      }

    else

      {

      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],

      "/home/content/37/8696437/html/know/beta/test/anew/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

      echo "Stored in: " . "/home/content/37/8696437/html/know/beta/test/anew/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];



}



else

  {

  echo "Invalid file test";

  }

"Invalid file" doesn't appear in your code.

If you're getting some random error, google for it to see what could be causing it. Or debug your code.

Ok, that's the ELSE of a very large IF

Print out the results of all the various things you check in the IF. See why it's failing.

This is very basic debugging. I can't fix it by staring at it, and neither can you. Check what's happening.

Since that else goes with your first 'if', obviously one of the conditions is not being met. So it has nothing to do with file upload. You need to echo all those variables used in that 'if' to see which one is causing it to be false, then figure out why.
