How to upload .mp3 file in php only after validation,my .wav file gets uploaded easily

Question

if ((($_FILES["myfile"]["type"] == "audio/mp3") ||
     ($_FILES["myfile"]["type"] == "audio/wav")) &&
    ($_FILES["myfile"]["size"] < 20000000)) 
{
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path) )
    {
        $result1=1;
    }
}

The ["type"] value is provided by the browser: it could be forged, wrong, or even missing. DO NOT TRUST IT! — CAFxX, Feb 07 '13 at 06:19

just print $_FILES["myfile"]["type"]; for real mp3 file then copy the value and use it instead of audio/mp3 because MIME type of mp3 will not be 'audio/mp3', i think its audio/mpeg

Please check this Link also, because its not recommended to depend on $_FILES["myfile"]["type"] that send by browser.

Two things.

Check the size of your .mp3 file. Check the file type of your .mp3 if it is actually audio/mp3. Try print_r($_FILES);.

$type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"];
$size = $_FILES["myfile"]["size"];

if( ( ($type == "audio/mp3") || ($type == "audio/wav") ) && ($size < 20000000)) {
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path) ) {
        $result1=1;
    }
}

Hope it helps.

You can check by evaluating the extension of the uploaded file or if you want to check file level then you can one of the pear packages https://pear.php.net/package/MP3_ID
