This question already has an answer here:

The document here has information on installing the proper driver in Windows 7. To get the driver you will go to Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, choose the correct port, then select Windows Update and wait a few minutes for the list to update. Aug 02, 2018  HP 990c driver for HP 6127 on Windows 7 32-bit. On some forum, found reference that the 990c printer driver is resident on a list of drivers that come with the Windows 7 Professional version. Can't believe Microsoft would be holding out or hoarding the driver exclusively there. So, since all other methods have failed, how. Hp 6127 drivers for windows 7.

  • How to check uploaded file type in PHP 8 answers

Exif_imagetype() can be used to avoid calls to other exif functions with unsupported file types or in conjunction with $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'] to check whether or not the viewer is able to see a specific image in the browser. The File Info Functions were added in PHP 5.3 but previous to that you are able to use the mime_content_type function. Share improve this answer edited Dec 14 '17 at 3:25.

PHP: Check (validate) if the Uploaded File is an Image. We will detect the image’s mime type and we will use this information to add the correct extension to. The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be. How can I detect if the extension of a file has been modified? Why does Windows append.php to my php. Identify a file through MIME type and file signature detection. Detect a file's type through MIME type information and file signature (header) bytes. (File extensions are ignored.) Uses *nix systems have the file command, which is a powerful file identifier, and callable from PHP's shell functions. You can check the MIME type of the file using PHP's File Info Functions. If it returns with the type 'application/pdf' then it should be a PDF. If it returns with the type 'application/pdf' then it. The most common cause of filetype() raising this warning and not showing a filetype() in the output (it actually returns NULL) is, if you happened to pass just the 'Dir or File Name' and not the complete 'Absolute or Relative Path' to that 'file or Dir'.

Is there a way to make sure a received file is an image in PHP?

Testing for the extension doesn't sound very secure to me as you could upload a script and change its extension to whatever you want.

I've tried to use getimagesize too, but there might be something more suited for that particular problem.

Native way to get the mimetype:

For PHP < 5.3 use mime_content_type()
For PHP >= 5.3 use finfo_open() or mime_content_type() Sprinter pro cracked.

Alternatives to get the MimeType are exif_imagetype and getimagesize, but these rely on having the appropriate libs installed. In addition, they will likely just return image mimetypes, instead of the whole list given in magic.mime.

While mime_content_type is available from PHP 4.3 and is part of the FileInfo extension (which is enabled by default since PHP 5.3, except for Windows platforms, where it must be enabled manually, for details see here).

If you don't want to bother about what is available on your system, just wrap all four functions into a proxy method that delegates the function call to whatever is available, e.g.

The getimagesize() should be the most definite way of working out whether the file is an image:

because this is a sample getimagesize() output:

Using file extension and getimagesize function to detect if uploaded file has right format is just the entry level check and it can simply bypass by uploading a file with true extension and some byte of an image header but wrong content.

for being secure and safe you may make thumbnail/resize (even with original image sizes) the uploaded picture and save this version instead the uploaded one.Also its possible to get uploaded file content and search it for special character like <?php to find the file is image or not.
