Hi,

We have an upload field which allows jpgs, gifs and pdfs.

If the upload is a PDF it will be direct linked (i.e. so PDF is downloaded by end user) - i.e. <a href="name.pdf">Map</a>

If the upload is an image (jpg or gif), we want it to link to a page where the image is embended, i.e. <a href="image.php">Map</a>

Is there any php IF function which lets me define an IF statement based on the file extension/file type of the upload in the field?

I think it's a long shot...

Cheers in advance,

Rob

Hi Rob,

Try something like this:

<?php if ($upload['extension'] == 'pdf'): ?>

... html code for pdf files ...

<?php else: ?>

... html code for other file types ...

<?php endif; ?>

Hope that helps!
