Re: [PHP] Is it possible to test an uploaded file to check the type?

[Gerard Samuel]

The upload process, already collects info on file types when you upload.
From the manual ->
$_FILES['userfile']['type']

    The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this
    information. An example would be "image/gif".
So,  check $_FILES['userfile']['type'] against a set of allowed file 
types, and you're set...

If you have compiled php with --enable-mime-magic, you can use 
mime_content_type()

upload jpegs or mpegs, and want to check what format the file is in.
Thanks in advance,
