php image type refference

[Iluvatar+]

Is there a diffrent image type refference in php for the file extentions 'jpg' & 'jpeg'. For example i have allowed "image/jpeg" files to be uploaded but only files with the extention .jpg are going through were as .jpeg are not, any idea's?

That "image/jpeg" comes from the browser, not from PHP. Besides the fact that it's totally untrustworthy, not all browsers will call an image by the same name.

 

Use a function like getimagesize to independently check (a) that it's an image and (b) what type of image it is.
