Get mime types of MAC files

[Sleidia]

Hello

I've written a simple script whose task is to allow registered members to upload files with allowed mime types in their own folder. Allowed extensions are : txt, doc, pdf, jpeg, gif.

The code is as follow :

<?php

if($_FILES['form_comp_file_pic']['name'] != "") {
		if(stristr($_FILES['form_comp_file_pic']['type'], 'jpg') OR stristr($_FILES['form_comp_file_pic']['type'], 'jpeg')) {
		$file_ext_pic = "jpg";
		} else if(stristr($_FILES['form_comp_file_pic']['type'], 'gif')) {
		$file_ext_pic = "gif";
		} else {
		show_errors(NULL, "form_comp_file_pic", 0);
		}
		
$up_file = $form_comp_file_pic;
$up_filename = $comp_ID . "_pic." . $file_ext_pic;
@copy($up_file, "$up_dir/$up_filename") or die();
$form_comp_file_pic = $up_filename;
$field_list .= " . comp_file_pic";		
		
} else {
}

if($_FILES['form_comp_file_rules']['name'] != "") {
		if(stristr($_FILES['form_comp_file_rules']['type'], 'texte')) {
		$file_ext_rules = "txt";
		} else if(stristr($_FILES['form_comp_file_rules']['type'], 'msword')) {
		$file_ext_rules = "doc";
		} else if(stristr($_FILES['form_comp_file_rules']['type'], 'pdf')) {
		$file_ext_rules = "pdf";
		} else {
		show_errors(NULL, "form_comp_file_rules", 0);
		}
		
$up_file = $form_comp_file_rules;
$up_filename = $comp_ID . "_rules." . $file_ext_rules;
@copy($up_file, "$up_dir/$up_filename") or die();
$form_comp_file_rules = $up_filename;
$field_list .= " . comp_file_rules";
		
} else {				
}

?>

Now, since I don't have a MAC to test it, I'd want to make sure that the script can work on a MAC. I think I've read somewhere that MAC mime types can be hidden in a way that prevnts PHP from reading them ... but I'm not sure about that.

Any insight anyone?

Thanks

Hi,
this might be a bad idea, so dont shoot me.
But, if you view source of an image, there are something defining what type it is.

If you open a .gif in notepad, it says GIF89 or something.
If you open a .jpg in notepad, it says JFIF or something..
ps. I dont know if the 89 after GIF is some kind of integer, saying what type of gif it is, or if it's simply what it's called.

I however think that this is in the mac files too?

this link points to a fairly comphrehensive list of mime types, perhaps you could take what you need from there to cover the bases that you want to
