note 51084 added to function.strstr

With regard to the below comment <?php $filename = "funnypicture.jpg"; $type = str_replace('.','',strstr($filename, '.')); echo $type; // jpg ?> This gets the file extension into the variable $type, not the file type. To get the file type, use filetype(), or to get the MIME content type, use mime_content_type(). <?php $filename = "funnypicture.jpg"; $ext = str_replace('.','',strstr($filename, '.')); $type = filetype($filename); $mime = mime_content_type($filename); echo $ext; // jpg echo $type; // file echo $mime; // image/jpeg ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51084 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51084&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51084&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51084&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51084&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51084&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51084&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
