It should, but instead try this: $image_size = getimagesize($filename); echo $image_size['mime'];

$image_size['mime'] ? Where did that come from?

I duno, maybe the manual. http://us2.php.net/getimagesize <-- 5th or 6th example down.

Ahhh... that's for sending a mime type to the browser. I'd always just used $image[2] since I usually check against the image constants in a switch... switch ($image[2]) { case IMAGETYPE_JPEG: // do something with a jpeg... blah...blah...blah... } But it's good to know that the 'mime' bit is there too.
