PHP file uploader

simple php file uploader with a simple restrictions for uploaded files, the $_FILES["file"]["size"] return the size of the file by byte so I make a condition to be accept only size less than 1 Mb, and I check file extension to accept or reject files, for example I can accept all image extension like (png, gif, bmp, jpg, jpeg), but in my example I accept all files except executable files such as (exe, com, rar).
