The equivalent of `file` command is mime_content_type() php function (if
enabled). Other alternatives are to use fgetcsv() to check if the file
is a csv file, imagesize() to check for image files, and similar.

But you can never be 100% sure the file is completely valid without
checking the whole file. For example mime_content_type() and imagesize()
check only first few bytes, but the rest of the file might be junk.
