$file_type - not working?

[Anon]

I can't seem to get the $file_type
to return to me a file type. It's just blank.

What should I do?

Code:
if (is_uploaded_file($resume)) {
$fileloc = $resume_name;
$filetype = $resume_type;
echo($fileloc . $filetype);
}

This only returns the file name.. and nothing in the file type.

ANy help would be appreciated.

PS: this is what imusing as my form action if that helps.
<FORM ACTION="submitform.php" NAME="jobapp" METHOD="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

$filetype = filetype($resume_type);

Thanks for your help, but I still could not get it to work. My problem is i get NOTHING int he $resume_type variable.

I just need a way to determine the MIME type dynamicly.. and $file_type does not work..
