• Answer:

  Here's what you do: 1) Validate the extension: First of all, make your code easier. <?php $type = strtolower($_FILES["file"]["type"]); $fileType = null; switch($type) { case 'gif': case 'jpeg': case 'jpg': case 'png': case 'bmp': case 'pjpeg': $fileType = 'image'; break; case 'zip': case 'rar': case 'iso': $fileType = 'archive'; break; case 'exe': $fileType = 'exe'; break; default: exit(); break; } ?> 2) Now you know that the extension is valid. You also know the fileType, so if its not an image then do this: Lets assume that the file has already been uploaded: <?php $file = ... if($fileType!='image') { //show the appropriate header, or set a download file header header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . urlencode($file)); header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Type: application/download"); header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file)); } ?> this will force the file to be downloaded. 3) If you want to extend your validation, you can always verify that the file is an image: You need to have the EXIF php library included in the PHP build (or just enabled in windows): <?php $imageExtType = exif_imagetype($file); switch($imageExtType) { case IMAGETYPE_GIF: case IMAGETYPE_JPEG: case IMAGETYPE_PNG: case IMAGETYPE_BMP: $isValidImage = true; break; default: return false; break; } I'm not sure about your pjpeg image type, but this should be OK.
