Hi I have a form so people can upload images, which are then displayed with any posts they make on the message board. Question is, is there a way to verify wether or not the image.jpg they uploaded is actually a jpeg and not another type of file renamed, and will it matter? Is there any way that a malicious script of some sort could be uploaded in that way and run? Thanks Generic Player
