it looks like you're getting your ereg and preg mixed up but try it
like this:
switch(1){
case ereg("\\.jpg$",$filename):
echo "JPEG Image";break;
case ereg("\\.gif$",$filename):
echo "GIF Image";break;
case ereg("\\.zip$",$filename):
echo "Compressed File"; break;
default:
echo "Unkown File Type"; break;
}
thats maybe a little cleaner than using if/else if's. also be careful
on the backslash, you have to escape it in double quotes.
