I'm wondering if there is any sure way for PHP to determine whether an uploaded file is definitely an image file. I have a script that checks for size and mime type ('image/png' or 'image/jpeg'). The script works fine, but I've heard that it is possible to add those mime type headers to files that aren't images at all, and possibly something mailicious. Mick
