Which type of input is mostly used when uploading pictures of files?
The input element, having the “file” value in its type attribute, represents a control to select a list of one or more files to be uploaded to the server. When the form is submitted, the selected files are uploaded to the server, along with their name and type.
How to restrict file upload selection to specific types?
For instance, if I wanted only images types to be uploaded, I would restrict the possible selections to (image/jpg,image/gif,image/png), and the selection dialog would grey out files of other mime types. p.s. I know that I can do this after the fact with the File API by scanning the .type attributes.
How can I only allow certain filetypes on upload in PHP?
For checking the mime type of the image, $_FILES [] [‘type’] could be unsafe. This data is sent by the browser and could be easily spoofed. You should use the getimagesize () function if you only want to allow images to be uploaded (despite its maybe misleading name).
Can a web application accept only image files?
Sometimes, only image files are accepted by the web application, sometimes only documents, and sometimes the combination of image, documents, and compressed file types are accepted by the web system.
Is there a web.config setting to restrict what gets uploaded?
No, there is no web.config setting to restrict what gets uploaded. The only possible way to validate uploaded data is to actually validate that data in code. Even if there were a setting, it would be useless anyway because it would be based on the Content-Type headers received from the client, which can be quite wrong.
