UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting any quick code to discover if a file is jpg or gif?

I didn't mean to start a controversy with my 'die' comment

Perhaps "generally not a good approach" was a poor choice of words.

If a script is intended for use by yourself, or other programmers, then a message like "Incorrect file type at line 123 myscript.cgi" may be fine. If the script is intended for use by Mr. Average Websurfer, then I would prefer to handle the error in a way that provides the user with information that he understands.

Just my opinion
