I created this function a few years ago, it determines the file type based on it's contents. I can not guarantee that it's 100% accurate, but I have not had any trouble with it. This function together with a simple Inlist() should give you what you want.

Function filetype
  Lparameters lcData
  Local lcReturn,lcContents
  If Pcount()=0 Or Vartype(lcData)#'C'
    lcReturn=''
  Else
    If Adir(laDummy,lcData)>0 && File
      lcContents=Filetostr(lcData)
    Else && Memory variabøe
      lcContents=lcData
    Endif
    Do Case
      Case Len(lcContents)<4
        lcReturn=''
      Case Left(lcContents,3)=Chr(0xFF)+Chr(0xD8)+Chr(0xFF)
        lcReturn='JPG'
      Case Left(lcContents,3)='GIF'
        lcReturn='GIF'
      Case Substr(lcContents,42,3)='EMF'
        lcReturn='EMF'
      Case Left(lcContents,4)=Chr(0xD7)+Chr(0xCD)+Chr(0xC6)+Chr(0x9A)
        lcReturn='WMF'
      Case Left(lcContents,4)=Chr(0x4D)+Chr(0x4D)+Chr(0x00)+Chr(0x2A)
        lcReturn='TIF'
      Case Left(lcContents,4)=Chr(0x89)+'PNG'
        lcReturn='PNG'
      Case Left(lcContents,2)='BM'
        lcReturn='BMP'
      Case Left(lcContents,3)='CWS' And Asc(Substr(lcContents,4,1))<16
        lcReturn='SWF'
      Case Left(lcContents,3)='FWS'  And Asc(Substr(lcContents,4,1))<16
        lcReturn='SWF'
      Otherwise
        lcReturn=''
    Endcase
  Endif
Return lcReturn
