It seems getClientOriginalExtension() is more reliable for an uploaded file during my testing. So we should use that when available. It uses the actual file extension and does not try to guess it.

Don't they just have to manually change the extension now? That value is entirely spoofable?

But that it what the file will be saved as.

So they can upload a php file as .jpg - but they cant do anything with it - since .jpg is not executable.

It is combined with the MIME test as well.

Kinda boggles my mind people are saving user uploaded files with the "php" extension in their apps but OK.

@taylorotwell - they are not be meaning to. If they do some save file after an image validation - then they are expecting getOrginalFileExtension() to give them on of the image extensions (i.e. .jpg) - not .php.
