Well, in Mac, there are indeed no mandatory file extensions. The file
type is kept in a record in the filesystem, as four bytes of
information. This information is not passed along as the file is
uploaded.
However, the file upload mechanism requires that the browser should
send the MIME type of the uploaded file. This information is
available to PHP, and, depending on the fidelity of the browsers your
users use, it can give you useful information.
