Here's an snippet that should help you on the way - although people can
fool about with filetypes so be careful.

//The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. 
$userfile_type=$_FILES['userfile']['type'];

switch ($userfile_type) 
{
  	case "text/x-csv" :			
	echo "<br />\n<p>File is in CSV format.........</p>"; 
        break;

  	default : // code to do something;
	echo "\n<p>Problem: file is not in correct format.</p>";
	exit;
}
