Note: extensions/header/content-types can be faked, but still worth checking
most of the time.

As far as is can see you're uploading images. A pretty reliable method te
check if a file is an image is using getimagesize() on the file, and
checking the values. Offcourse that's not the purpose of the function, but
does the trick, and as a bonus filters out broken/partial images most of the
time.
