Re: [PHP] test for rtf
Just a note, testing for those characters is trickier than it sounds. The
backslash throws off the test. Here's what I did on a POST form. Note the
-two- backslashes.
$chkstring=substr($thisfile,0,5);
if ($chkstring != {\\rtf) {
// fail
}
This seems to work, but I'm wondering if there's a better way.

Is there any way to test a file to confirm it is an RTF file?
I'm thinking along the lines of how we can test for an image with
getimagesize().

Re: [PHP] test for rtf
Not to sure on the RTF file format, but checking the first few letters might
help
Quickly opening a RTF file I see that they start with {\rtf
Maybe look for that.

IF this data is being uploaded via form you should look into $_FILES array,
in particular $_FILES[userfilename][type];
