Files types

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I am trying to upload jpg
images and using the following piece of code
$myerror = "no";
$msg = "ok";
$img_types = array('image/jpeg','image/jpg','image/pjpeg');
if (!in_array($_FILES['imagefile']['type'],$img_types))
{
$msg = 'Problem: file is not jpg';
$myerror = "yes";
}
echo $msg;
When I try to download a jpg I still get the problem msg.
Is there something that I am doing wrong that I cant see or is there
another way to do this.
Thanks in advance

Bill

What is the output when you print $_FILES['imagefile']['type']?

Try with

var_dump($_FILES);

and see what is set in the variable when an upload has been done and
it's easier to see things if you look at the webpage source code than
looking at the output in the browser (browsers don't care about new lines).

Make sure the form has the correct method/enctype defined:
