I know there are more image types than what I've found but I can't find them anywhere. Here's what I have so far. I want to allow all image file types that can be displayed using the img tag. I remember there being a weird one for jpegs in IE or something. Does anyone know of the type I'm talking about or know where I can find a list of them?

e.g. .png .jpeg .jpg and .gif

"image/gif"
"image/jpeg"
"image/png"

    You could start your research by examining the types PHP can natively detect: http://php.net/manual/en/function.exif-imagetype.php What image types browsers support may vary very widely though. – deceze Apr 24 '13 at 09:05

  • I did use the search and I couldn't find anything. Either I wasn't searching correctly or they aren't what I'm looking for. – Alexis Tyler Apr 24 '13 at 09:07

try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats

the information inside the actual image that determines the type. (mime-types)

http://site.com/image.php?name=file'> could actually render an image
