Hi, In my web application, end user is able to load images (png, jpeg, gif,..) into database. I would like to know how can i detect automatically the type of image (pnd, jpeg,...) ? i do not want to check the extension because this is easily faked... just by renaming it. Does it exist a technique for that ? thanks a lot,
Hi, unfortunately mime_content_type() does not work for me.
Tim: It should, but instead try this: $image_size = getimagesize($filename); echo $image_size['mime']; Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
