Coding question for video files?

[twells22]

I have a social script that allows users to upload videos to their "album" but I am having trouble setting the allowed file extensions. If you can, tell me what to do to allow wmv files and avi files.

Here is what the MIME section says:

"To successfully upload a file, the file must have an allowed filetype extension as well as an allowed MIME type. This prevents users from disguising malicious files with a fake extension. Separate MIME types with commas, for example: image/jpeg, image/gif, image/png, image/bmp"

Now this is what is in the field:

"image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/jpg, image/jpe, image/pjpg, image/x-jpeg, x-jpg, image/gif, image/x-gif, image/png, image/x-png, image/bmp, audio/mpeg, video/mpeg, video/x-msvideo, video/quicktime, application/x-shockwave-flash, "

What needs to be changed to allow avi and wmv video files?

Are you hosting on a Microsoft server or Linux server? I don't see the file extension for either avi or wmv, but that is just going by what you are showing me? If it is a microsoft server, there should be an acceptance of at least wmv files. Should be a file extension such as video/x-ms-wmv.

Good luck
