i just opened 4 jpg files...dunno about where the header is...coz i
didn't find anything common at the begining of the files (so i doesn't
seem to have a header at the "head").

i found (only) one jpg which had JFIF as the 7th to 10th bytes.

i did notice that the _last 2 bytes_ are FF D9 in *all* 5 jpg's. that
should be a good way to check depending on how the jpeg's in question
differ from the real thing.

fopen image; fseek ( $handle, -2 , SEEK_END);
$last_2_bytes = fread ($handle, 2 [bytes]);
if ($last_2_bytes == 0xffd9), perhaps an ok jpg.

have u done anything to the images? are they photos, scanned, gaphics
(from photoshop/gimp)?
