Either the file the user is uploading is not a PNG (or GIF or JPG) file (despite it having the .png extension), or the browser the customer is using is not properly sending the file's MIME type when uploading it to the server. Have the user try a different browser. If the problem persists, suspect that the error message is right -- that the file type is not acceptable. (Confirm the file's contents using other means -- have the customer try to open it in an image viewing program that can give information about the file and display its filetype.) -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
