           if(isset($_FILES['resume']))
              {
              $errors= array();
               $file_name = $_FILES['resume']['name'];
              //$file_size = $_FILES['resume']['size'];
      $file_tmp = $_FILES['resume']['tmp_name'];
      $file_type = $_FILES['resume']['type'];
      $file_ext=strtolower(end(explode('.',$_FILES['resume']['name'])));
      $expensions= "pdf";
      
      if(in_array($file_ext,$expensions)=== false){
         $errors[]="extension not allowed, please choose a PDF file.";
      }
      if(empty($errors)==true) {
         move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"./uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
