"Invalid File Format" error when trying to submit form

Question

When I try to submit my form, it can't be submitted and shows an "invalid file format" error, no matter if any data is input or not. The file format code was collected from StackOverflow.

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{   
    $type=2;
    $fname = @$_POST['f_name'];
    $eml = @$_POST['email_id'];
    $mo_num = @$_POST['mn'];
    $message = @$_POST['message'];
    $uploaded_file_a= @$_FILES['file_a']['name'];
    $uploaded_file_b= @$_FILES['file']['name'];


// in a Array > all Supported Document Formats are Stored //
$allowedExts = array("pdf", "doc", "docx", "ppt", "pptx","jpeg","jpg","png","x-png");

// In a Temporary Array > The File Name + File Extension is Stored //
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

// Getting the Extension //
$extension = end($temp);
// Checking File // PDF | DOC | DOCX | XLS | XLSX | PPT | PPTX

your query is wrong, echo your query and try to run in phpmyadmin — Niklesh Raut, Feb 11 '16 at 05:32
your file submission code is working fine, the case which you need to handle is if the file is not selected and still you submit the form they it will give invalid file. — Amit Shah, Feb 11 '16 at 05:37

i have modified you code to handle if no file is submitted.

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{   
    $type=2;
    $fname = @$_POST['f_name'];
    $eml = @$_POST['email_id'];
    $mo_num = @$_POST['mn'];
    $message = @$_POST['message'];
    $uploaded_file_a= @$_FILES['file_a']['name'];
    $uploaded_file_b= @$_FILES['file']['name'];


// in a Array > all Supported Document Formats are Stored //
$allowedExts = array("pdf", "doc", "docx", "ppt", "pptx","jpeg","jpg","png","x-png");

// In a Temporary Array > The File Name + File Extension is Stored //
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

// Getting the Extension //
$extension = end($temp);
// Checking File // PDF | DOC | DOCX | XLS | XLSX | PPT | PPTX
