Using the type thats in $_FILES is generally a bad idea, since its set 
by the browser, and different browsers set different types for the same 
file. I usually use the *nix program file program to determine the 
filetype, then you know that it will always return the same typ for the 
same type of files.

Something like
file -ib <filename>
gives the type on the last line.

Just my idea. :)
