Mime types are totally not standard. I would avoid using mime types for validation. Some could be correct, some could be octet streams. It's just not standardized.
Instead, do not use a mime type during upload. Upload the file and then check the server extension of the uploaded file. Might not "seem" as secure as denying a mime type, but it fairly safe in my experience. Remember that the computer attempts to execute a file based on its extension. You can't change an EXE file to a JPG and still "launch" it. It will try to run as a JPG and break. .......................
