Hey, you can change your settings to show file extensions. click the arrow on organize while in any folder > click the view tab > uncheck "hide extensions for known file types"

I had the same error concerning Strict Standards ... but to be sure:
but what is it on line 66???
If it has to do with the end() function, then you have to split the code. What i did was the following:
$file_extn=explode('.', $file_name); //file.png
$file_ext=end($file_extn);
print_r($file_ext);

Really nice tutorial. I was hoping to see some SQL and MySQL tutorials, as from what i am learning, are very complex with commands and privileges and it comes a point very boring to learn.

For file extension why not use $_FILES['profile']['type']? It already has the ext in it.

P.S. Nice tutorials. Lot of interesting things to learn!

When I upload a video or audio file it doesn't say anything even if the $allowed variable specifies only jpeg + png. However, when I upload a php file it does display the "wrong file type" message. It's a  little bit weird..

[MrChibakun]

there's something weird happening as I have to log in twice to log on sucessfully. first log in goes to index with no error message. second login works. any ideas?

Instead of using $file_extn = strtolower(end(explode('.', $file_name)));
replace it with $file_extn = strtolower(pathinfo($file_name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

what if I rename an .exe, bin etc file to png or jpeg? or huge files, over 10 mb?

HELP! i am getting this error:
Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in

[gabbixans]

i will say this just once, if you have benefited from alex's wisdom and you have not donated, you will go to hell. BTW thanks again alex.

[RonDavisceo]

OK fixed it thanks Rotus now i have another issue the photo doesn't show

[RonDavisceo]

what is the pathinfo and pathinfo_extension?

[RonDavisceo]

the error is in this location...
$file_extn = strtolower(end(explode('.', $file_name)));

[synthakt]

if anyone gets the "Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference end explode" error you can make it work like this

$array = explode('.', $file_name);
$file_extn = end( $array);
