the thing file type not allowed message keeps coming. uploaded .png file, don't know problem.

could please help me this? i've been hanging on hours :(

actualy have

$file_name = $files['attachment']['name']; $temp_name = $files['attachment']['tmp_name']; $file_type = $files['attachment']['type'];

it should

$file_name = $_files['attachment']['name']; $temp_name = $_files['attachment']['tmp_name']; $file_type = $_files['attachment']['type'];

and works :))
