How can the differences between "image/pjpeg" and "image/jpeg" impact image uploads in PHP?

The main difference between "image/pjpeg" and "image/jpeg" is in the way browsers interpret the MIME types. Some browsers may not recognize "image/pjpeg" and may fail to upload images with this MIME type. To ensure compatibility across all browsers, it is recommended to use "image/jpeg" for JPEG images in PHP image uploads.

// Check and adjust the MIME type if necessary before processing the image upload
if ($_FILES['image']['type'] == 'image/pjpeg') {
    $_FILES['image']['type'] = 'image/jpeg';
}

// Process the image upload using the adjusted MIME type
// Your image upload code here
