Yeah awesome, but the problem is, the cpanel won't be there to enjoy by the person using this script.

[James John]

ya am still a newbie....jst trying ma best

[shushant]

i will suggest to add some security fix in your code
and instead of comparing with mime type and file associations
just check its hex signature
