Re: [PHP] test for rtf
Just a note, testing for those characters is trickier than it sounds. The
backslash throws off the test. Here's what I did on a POST form. Note the
-two- backslashes.
$chkstring=substr($thisfile,0,5);
if ("$chkstring" != "{\\rtf") {
// fail
}
This seems to work, but I'm wondering if there's a better way.

You could always open it and see if the first few characters are
"{\rtf1".

IF this data is being uploaded via form you should look into $_FILES array,
in particular $_FILES["userfilename"]["type"];

Not to sure on the RTF file format, but checking the first few letters might
help
Quickly opening a RTF file I see that they start with {\rtf
Maybe look for that.

[PHP] test for rtf
Is there any way to test a file to confirm it is an RTF file? I'm thinking along the lines of how we can test for an image with getimagesize(). kind regards, bill -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
