Hi,

Have you tried putting an if statement at the start to only allow images?
Like this...

if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['type']=="jpg"){ all your code} 
else { echo "only jpg allow";}

or it might be better to do it this way

if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['type']!="jpg"){ echo "jpg only allowed";} 
else { all you code}

Actually the url that evstevemd posted is much better:) use that!
