The filename isn't always the best way to tell. I mean I could rename
an mp3 to jpg and you'd think it was a jpg and happily insert it into

the image itself.

    I didn't even think about that.  Thank you :)

If it's available on your web host (and it probably is) use this
function:

getimagesize()

Specifically, look at the 2nd index in the returned array (the image
type).

    I was about the get the size of the image anyway so this way I can kill two birds with one stone.  Thanks for the help Richard !
