Hi all,<br />
<br />
How I can get file type from a file path (ex. C:\folder\image.gif) when someone is trying to &quot;Upload&quot; an image on my server.<br />
<br />
I need to make sure that the file is either (JPEG OR JPG OR GIF).<br />
<br />
So can someone please provide me with any sample code that can help me verify the uploaded image type in PHP<br />
<br />
I get the file path and save it in a var called $imagepath<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

File type

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
