Hi i am trying to create a page that when a user uploads an image it will check that it is an image file and then print the image name and put that name into the database.
I have got the following code but it only works if the user selects an image file. If they select any other file type i want it to give an error message but i can not get this to work. Any suggestions
<CFIF isdefined ("url.Action")> <!--- Test the file size --->
<CFIF val(cgi.content_length) gt 1024000> <!--- the file size is over the limit of 1mb. Refuse to upload it --->
<CFSET variables.Success="Im sorry. The file size is over 1mb. Please select a smaller image">
<CFELSE>
<!--- the file is within the limit specified. Define the accepted MIME types. this example accepts plain text files and zip files. --->
<CFSET request.AcceptImage= "image/gif,image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/pjpeg,image/x-png"><!--- now try to upload the file --->
<CFTRY>
<cfset FileToDir = "C:">
<!--- upload the --->
<cffile action="upload" filefield="FileContents" destination="#FileToDir#" nameconflict="Overwrite" accept="#request.AcceptImage#">
<CFSET variables.Success="Uploaded.">
<CFCATCH type="Application"><!--- something went wrong. Was it a mime type failure? --->
<CFIF isdefined("cfcatch.MimeType")> <!--- yes it was. show the friendly error message. --->
<CFIF not ListContains (request.AcceptImage,cfcatch.MimeType)><H1>Im Sorry</H1>This type of file is not allowed for upload.<BR>All that user training really paid off.</P>
<P>Try again...</P>
<CFELSE>
<!--- Hmmm. the mimetype is there but the file was on the list. Better dump out the whole error message. --->
