Acceptable File Type Uploads

I need to check to make sure that the file that gets uploaded is one of:
JPG, TIF, EPS, PSD or AI

I don't want to resize or change the file image at all but upload it as is if it is one of the file types.

Is there someplace (e.g. in WA_DigitalFilePro/HelperPHP.php) that I can easily change the filetypes allowed?

Thanks in advance for any help here!

Validation Toolkit can be used to validate file types, but it can't be easily added in Digital File Pro itself.

Not working for me.

I am using a form to upload pdf files. With no validation it works. If I try the validation it fails.

This is the code:

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$WAFV_Redirect = "filetype.php";
$_SESSION['WAVT_pdfmenusInsert_199_Errors'] = "";
if ($WAFV_Redirect == "") {
$WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
}
$WAFV_Errors = "";
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateFE($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"] . "",".pdf",true,1);

if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {
PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"pdfmenusInsert_199");
}
}
?>


I also tried it using the file extension rather than the serverFileName but that didnt work either. Help?

instead of using the server file name, use the Simple file name binding found under the form collection. I am including a screen shot showing the binding I mean. The binding shows a form named WADAInsertForm, and File Field named ProductThumb
