Server file or image extension 1

[idanner]

How can I get the correct extension of the image that was uploaded to my server. I don't want the client file extension because I'm renaming the image and I need the ext. of whatever was uploaded.
Here is the code to save and then rename.

<cffile action="upload"
			destination="#thisPath#"
			nameConflict= "overwrite"
			fileField="Form.FiletoUpload" accept="image/gif, image/pjpeg, image/jpg">			
		
			<cfif fileWasSaved>      
			  <cffile action="rename"
				source="#ServerDirectory#\#cffile.ClientFileName#.#cffile.ClientFileExt#"
				destination="#thisPath##officeimg.Name#.jpg">		
			</cfif>

Here is how I'm displaying the images.I can only display jpgs now.

<CFIF Fileexists(ExpandPath("/nicolecfsite/OnlineDir/images/#Contacts.Username#.jpg"))>		
							<img src="./images/#Contacts.Username#.jpg" height="120" width="120" 
							border="none" >

Thanks for any help.

listLast(cffile.serverfile, ".") should do it for ya.

Thanks bombboy for the tip. Although the tip didn't work for me because I'm displaying the images on another page besides the cffile form page, I'm sure it would work from that page. If I did it wrong or if there is another way to get the ext. from a saved file off the server then let me know. Thank you.

You're not being very clear... I read this earlier and couldn't make much sense of it..

I think you mean that the problem is you're storing the filenames in a database by username or something.. and on display, you can't figure out how to get the correct extension..

You have two methods.. Either store the extension in the table with the usernames or whatever (in a different column if you like). Or Use FileExists.

<cfif fileexists(expandpath("#username#.jpg"))>
  <img src="./images/#Contacts.Username#.jpg" height="120" 
   width="120" border="none">
<cfelseif fileexists(expandpath("#username#.gif"))>
  <img src="./images/#Contacts.Username#.gif" height="120" 
   width="120" border="none">
<cfelseif fileexists(expandpath("#username#.png"))>
  <img src="./images/#Contacts.Username#.png" height="120" 
   width="120" border="none">
<cfelse>
  Image does not exist.
</cfif>
