Subject: Wrong image file type
When I try to upload an image to my guestbook, I receive a 'GUESTBOOK ERROR' saying:

Wrong image file type

My image is 50 kb and it does not matter wether it is an 'GIF' or a 'JPG' image, and image upload is enabled in administration mode.

How can I solve this problem.

Are you sure it's a gif or jpg and not something else with a different extension. Shouldn't be returning that error unless they used something like a bmp or a tiff.

Yes, even I tried caps (.JPG) and non caps(.jpg), it will still give me the same message: wrong file type.


I hope you can help me solving this problem.

OK I'll look into it but as a matter of urgency you need to disable HTML in the guestbook as it can be used to deface the guestbook.

Ok I'm wondering if it's not a problem with getimagesize.

Open add.class.php in lib folder and replace

return $this->db->gb_error($this->db->LANG["ErrorPost7"]);

with

return $this->db->gb_error($this->db->LANG[&quot;ErrorPost7&quot;].&quot;<br>\n<pre>\n&quot;.print_r($size, true).'</pre>');

This should help debug the problem.

Thnx,

I will change the script in a couple of days, because I am not able to change the files right now on this moment, because I am out of the country for a few days. I'll let you know when I have changed the script, so that we can debug this little problem.

Thanx anyway.

Ok, I changed the code like you suggested.

I don't see any difference on the error-page and also I see no file-size printed.

Maybe you can take another look at my page?

And in what directory does gbook keep his images, so that I can check the properties of this directory?
(As I could see later in config.php, public is the upload-directory for images. I made this directory chmod 777, but still the same error-message)

www.mydomain.nl/gbook


Thanks in advance

Ok I'll throw together a test file that will allow you to upload a file and then print a message at each stage. it's either that or you give me FTP access and I modify your add.class.php file whilst running live tests on it.

ok,

The problem is solved. I made tmp and public directory writeable for everyone (chmod 777) and that did the trick.

Thanks to Carbonize for the help.
