Ok, well I know how to make the script but the problem is when I try to upload a video I dont remeber the part before the extension, IE for an gif image it would be image/gif ... does anyone know what the video form would be?

What kind of video-format do you want to upload? .avi? .wma?
If you´re just going to store the video, not view it, you could probably just zip it and use "application/zip".

It will be any kind of video and yes they will be watching it.

I believe that you want what is know as MIME Types. Here are the MIME Types for video files:

Quote

video/mpeg - mpg, mpeg, mpe
video/vnd.vivo - ____
video/quicktime - qt, mov
video/x-msvideo - avi
video/x-sgi-movie - movie
From: http://www.ltsw.se/

I don't know if there are more or not.

<?
$filename = 'test.avi';
$extension = explode( '.', $filename );
$extension = $extension[1];
?>

Cliff, ever though what would happen if someone uploaded "image.jpg.php"?

Never use that method.

Never use that method.

<?
$filename = 'test.jpg.avi';
$extension = explode( '.', $filename );
for( $i=1; $i < count( $extension ) - 1; $i++ )
{
  $extension.= $extension[ $i ]; 
} 
?>

Now thats more like it

Also you could just put the last extension because that's basically the actual extension.

$filename = 'test.jpg.avi';
$extension = explode( '.', $filename );
$extension = $extension[ count( $extension ) ];

this is how i do it, works better than messing with mime types and stuff imo.

$filename = 'test.jpg.avi.exe.zip.exe.p2l';
$extension = array_reverse($extension);
$extension = $extension[0];

the extension will always be the last one, if you reverse the array it will always be the first one.
