You should really consider using the fileinfo extension, or mabey even http://php.net/getimagesize. The ['type'] information can't be trusted to be what it says it is.

Any reason why no one is suggesting the use of mime_content_type? http://ca.php.net/mime_content_type It seems to work well for me and there's no need to trust whatever the browser claims a file is or having to worry about different browsers inconsistently describing a mime type. - Ben
