Hello. I'm trying to build a website which should accept uploaded files. My question is: how do you retrieve the filetype of uploaded files?

Too many ways to figure this out.
- Take the file extension fo its word. MP3 is MP3, JPEG is JPEG, etc.
- Consider the Linux file command. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/file.1.html
- "files don't really have types." so you get to define what you are asking further.
