Dave,
when you upload the file, you should have access to something like
$_FILES['filename']['type']
which will give you the mimetype for the file uploaded - jpeg is (i think -
someone correct me?)
image/jpeg
OR
image/jpg
so you can just check it, then throw an error if it doesn't equal the right
type (does mean that you have to upload it, then kill it if it doesn't suit)
HTH

// Hi All
// I have a working ap to allow clients to upload their images
// to a server
// & then I write the path to a MySql db for retrieval later.
// But I have been asked if we can control the mime type to only accept
// JPG's and nothing else.
//
// I can't seem to find the answer anywhere so I humbly ask for
// your help
// or guidance.
//
// Thank you in advance
