i have solved the corrupt problem.. i just wanna ask if what will i place in the tags of files extension to uploads .zip or .rar in my webhost..

what will i replace with this tags
# What type of files should be allowed to be uploaded ?
$allow_type = "audio/mpeg";

[Jaan]

// .rar
$allow_type = "application/rar";
// .zip
$allow_type = "application/zip"; 

I get those by using this script:

<?php
if($_GET['act'] == "show"){
echo $_FILES['files']['type'];
}else{
?>

<form action="?act=show" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="file" name="files" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>

[coated_pill]

// .rar
$allow_type = "application/rar";
// .zip
$allow_type = "application/zip"; 

I get those by using this script:

<?php
if($_GET['act'] == "show"){
echo $_FILES['files']['type'];
}else{
?>

<form action="?act=show" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="file" name="files" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
