You can use either JavaScript or PHP to check what the file exstension is. But don't ask me how.

simple php solution, it wont filter it client side but will check server side<br />
<br />
$allowed_files = array(&quot;image/gif&quot;,&quot;image/p<wbr />jpeg&quot;,&quot;ima<wbr />ge/jpeg&quot;,&quot;<wbr />image/jpg&quot;<wbr />,&quot;images/p<wbr />ng&quot;);<br />
<br />
if (!in_array($_FILES['file_u<wbr />pload_form<wbr />_field_nam<wbr />e']['type'<wbr />],$allowed<wbr />_files)) {<br />
&nbsp; echo &quot;this file type is not allowed&quot;;<br />
&nbsp;}
</div>

$allowed_files = array("image/gif","image/pjpeg","image/jpeg","image/jpg","images/png");

if (!in_array($_FILES['file_upload_form_field_name']['type'],$allowed_files)) {
  echo "this file type is not allowed";
 }

Are you talking about specifying hard-coded filters into &lt;input type=&quot;file&quot;...&gt; ?<br />
I think it is not possible, not my standard/pure HTML at least...

Setting File filters

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
