but I don't see any reason you wouldn't be just fine using getimagesize.
Here's what I dont get though. Even if I use "getimagesize" and have it grab the image's type, which returns a numerical result in which I hav have an array define it if I wish, I'm still able to rename a .exe as a .jpg and upload it into the form successfully.

I am expecting only jpg, png and gif extensions to be allowed, but I'm not seeing, or maybe not understanding an efficient way to do that. I've never really tinkered with image/file upload operations before so I feel utterly lost.

I also read the php manual on fileinfo, and I dont even understand how to properly use it.

Any ideas?

That and make everything an animated gif... gah.
Heh, I remember Geocities well. That was what I first used in 2002 to make a website. It was actually one of the coolest sitebuilders in the day with the drag and drop feature for the content. Although now I look back and compare it to all the dynamic content and jquery utilities and laugh so hard.
