Just knocked this together. It doesn't confirm whether or not the files are
actually valid MIME types (like .zip). For instance, you could upload a
text files, rename it to .zip and it will list it (if you change the
following $required_types variable I've put in here:
__________________________
<html>
<head>
<title>Looking MIME types?</title>
</head>
<body>
Here is a listing of the directory I want to be looking in and all of the
files in it. If the files are listed below, they're the ones I want to
know.
<ul>
<?
$directory = "/path/to/directory/";
$dir = opendir($directory);
/* Change to the types you want */
$required_types = array(".gif",".jpg");
while($MIMEfile = readdir($dir)) {
$extension = strrchr($MIMEfile,'.');
if(($MIMEfile != ".") && ($MIMEfile != "..") &&
(in_array($extension,$required_types))) {
$filetype = filetype($MIMEfile);
echo "<li>$MIMEfile";
}
}
?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

Note that this probably isn't the best way to go about things, but I've had
a quick root through the file() functions, and could find nothing (though I
didn't look too hard) quick and easy.
Have fun.
