Need some education. I looked around but didn't find an answer I understood or it doesn't matter anyway.

On this line:
<input name="image" accept="image/jpg" type="file">

My question is; what does accept="image/jpg" do for me? I can use this same code to upload jpg or pdf files. Should I worry about this to upload different file types?

Thanks,
Jon

I'm not too sure on the uploading of file types - but you do need to declare the mime type for them to display correctly.

Or, at least that's my understanding of the subject. If you declare a mime type of jpg and output a pdf file - it won't display correctly.
If anyone knows different, please correct me.

I do understand that you need the correct mime type to display the image.

My question is for uploading the image.
