[PHP] problem finding out original filename while using php to upload.

[Neil M]

I am using php to upload image files.

heres my code ..

<?
if (is_uploaded_file($photo_file))
{

clearstatcache ();
 $size = filesize ( $photo_file ) ;
 if ( $size > 1024000 )
 {
 print ("<BR> ERROR - File is too big ! File uploads should be below 1024 k
( 1mb ) <BR>"); exit ;
 }
 move_uploaded_file($photo_file, "$upload_path$check_nick->nickname");
}
 else
{
     echo "<BR> ERROR : File upload was not successfull , please try again
!<BR>";
}
?>

------

the problem is that when i look for the original filename ( e.g.
myphoto.gif ) , $photo_file contains a random file name like 383hr93php

As i mentioned , its image files i am uploading , how do i know what type of
image the file was  ? like .jpg , .png etc.

Any help appreciatted , i am really stuck on this ;0)

Thanks

Neil M
