get a clue! a file extension does not a file make. ever consider that it
may, in fact, be a pjpeg? ever consider i may want to hack you by uploading
a script whilst naming it with a .jpg extension? you should do more
validation that what you are...which is next to nothing.

as for 'windows rubbish', tool for the job oh opinionated one...tool for the
job.
