The upload file settings in my config.php are below:</p> <pre><code>//allow only these filetypes to be uploaded define(&#39;UPLOAD_FILETYPE_ALLOW&#39;,&#39;pdf;doc;txt;ppt;jpg;jpeg;png;gif&#39;); //do not allow these filetypes to be uploaded define(&#39;UPLOAD_FILETYPE_DENY&#39;,&#39;php;php3;php4;php5;phtml;exe;pl;cgi;html;htm;js&#39;);</code></pre>
