[PHP] Mime Types & .PNG images

Hi there,

I am having a little trouble with getting the mime type (or any details) of the image type .PNG.

Whenever I upload the image and run this script:

PHP:

<?php

     $file_details = @getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
     print $file_details;

?>

I get this:

The image I am trying to upload is simply a colour to test:

Thanks in advance!

The reason I use the error supprision, is that fact that its used in file validation, I use the function to get details of the image. And if by chance the user uploads a txt file, does the getimagesize function not produce an error?

Check the mime type first...not infallible but then, nothing is.

When I remember that doesn't seem to work on my host, so thats why I am using getimagesize function, to get the mime type.
