Hi, I host a flash painting tool on my site, and wanted to add ability for the users to add a background image from a given url, but I have to make sure the url they add truely refers to a real jpg file, and not something else. I found a methoed with exif_imagetype() that worked except my webhost has disabled the allow_url_fopen due to security issues, instead they recommented me to use CURL and said that the exif_imagetype() is not a modern way to use php today. (what do I know)? Question: Is it possible for me to use CURL to verify the authenticity of a jpg file? ...and if so, how?
