I thought this is a secure way to find out if the file is a jpeg or not. So you are suggesting to passit to the unix command file? How does that work. Maybe you can make a small example or give a small hint on what to look for on google. Sound interesting!
I tryed to to perform a createfromjpeg command to that file and it did not work. So the magic is to save it in photoshop for web and then as jpeg and not with save as (jpeg). But this gives me a headache, because how do user know the difference? The file extension is jpeg and all programms can display it. Maybe there is a way in php as well to do a kind of createfromjpeg commmand?!
