There is a form on my website that allows the upload of images from a remote server. When the user enters the link and submits, I want to check the file and make sure it’s the right extension before I copy it off to my server.
I tried to directly use exif_imagetype, but allow_url_fopen is not allowed on the server so need help. I think using curl will solve the problem, but I’m not sure how to get the image extension from the header.
Thanks in advanced!
solution
$ch = curl_init ($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_exec ($ch); $content_type = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE); echo $content_type;
