listen, don't cut corners even if you are prototyping something that may be
thrown away. more often than not, a simple, well-written script turns into a
complete application/solution...as does a poorly written one. the point is,
rarely will someone go back and get a prototype production-ready. it just
gets built upon. *always* do your best and *never* program shit on purpose.
EZ is no solution.
there are two ways that verify an image type. one is blatant, the other
requires out-of-the-box thinking...but both are standard to php. get out
there and and find them.
