Jeff, good call. Things have been changed back.

This upload component has been used with over 15 projects without a problem. I’m going to assume whatever kinks existed upon release have pretty much been smoothed over.

A big thanks goes out to everyone who contributed to building this killer component!

If you look at Ruben’s post it creates the problem.

Where he takes

if(!in_array($this->ext($fileName),$this->_allowed)){

into

if(!in_array($this->ext($fileType),$this->_allowed)){

it should be that only reversed so that you change it from $fileType to $fileName

Jeff, please have a look at the updates above - I believe this problem has been fixed.

Ok, figured out some things that I think someone may need to look at.

I traced my problem to the upload.php component file. Specifically to the ext() function that determines what a image’s file extension is. apparently it is being fed the fileType not the fileName, the ext() function is looking for the fileName to determine the the extension.

Now based on the comment by Ruben, that was changed from that for some reason.

To give further info – this is running on an Apache 2.2 server being uploaded from FireFox.

Hope this helps
