Caution
This function expects filename to be a valid image file. If a non-image file is supplied, it may be incorrectly detected as an image and the function will return successfully, but the array may contain nonsensical values.

Do not use getimagesize() to check that a given file is a valid image. Use a purpose-built solution such as the Fileinfo extension instead.

@Wolterhon true it should be something like this:

Code:

<?php
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
$mimetype = finfo_file($finfo, $_FILES['newimage']['tmp_name']);
if ($mimetype == 'image/jpg' || $mimetype == 'image/jpeg' || $mimetype == 'image/gif' || $mimetype == 'image/png') {
 echo 'File type ' . $mimetype . ' is allowed';
} else {
 echo 'The source file type ' . $mimetype . ' is not supported';
 die();
}
?>
