This question already has an answer here:
I'm trying to fix a picture upload. But I have some troubles with the check if the file is a picture. Before I used eregi_replace but that function is deprecated and now I'm wondering is there possible to use preg_match and check in an array for a match or how should I do this?
$name = "Picture.jpg";
$picture = array("/^JPG/", "/^PNG/", "/^GIF/", "/^gif/", "/^png/", "/^jpg/", "/^JPEG/", "/^jpeg/");
$something = preg_match($picture, $name, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, 3);
print_r($something);
Like that or something? I dont have a clue, hope you can help me!

Like below:
$name = "Picture.jpg";
if (preg_match('/\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$/i', $name, $matches)) {
//...
}
But note this only check the filename, if you want to check it's a real image, you should validate the actual mime-type.
