One can always change a file name extension to something else, so
testing against the file extension is probably not useful. PHP's
$_FILES['userfile']['type'] will indicate the file's mime type if
provided by the browser, but I don't know how browsers determine the
mime type for uploaded files. The *nix "file" command reads the file
headers and determines file type based on the pattern of bytes in the
headers of files -- that is the most reliable way to do it. But
again, I don't know if browsers use a similar method or not.
