I also recently built a script to upload strictly image files (jpg|png|gif) and did it using an array with the MIME types compared against the value of $_FILES['file]['type'] ( or $_FILES[0]['type'] of course

).

example (excerpt from the real script)

PHP Code:

  $allowed_types = array('image/png', 'image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'image/gif');

if ( !in_array($_FILES['file']['type'], $allowed_types) )

{

    // not the right MIME type, do something

}

Regarding converting the file type; are you talking about a wireless bitmap (WBMP) file or a windows bitmap (BMP) image file?
