Here's an snippet that should help you on the way - although people can fool about with filetypes so be careful. //The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. $userfile_type=$_FILES['userfile']['type']; switch ($userfile_type) { case "text/x-csv" : echo "<br />\n<p>File is in CSV format.........</p>"; break; default : // code to do something; echo "\n<p>Problem: file is not in correct format.</p>"; exit; } Alan
