You can use this code to get extensions of files from its file name. And can check this file is image or flash using Conditional statement IF as below

<?php
$filename ="file.jpg";

$ext = strtolower(array_pop(explode('.',$filename)));
    if ($ext=='swf'){
    echo "flash";//set your object as flash
    }
    else{
    echo "image";//set your object as img
    }
    ?>

You can simply use $_FILES['file_name']['type']; and it will return you file type that you can check alternatively you can use 

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("profilepic/".$db_question_data[$lpcntrl]['Photo']);

it will also return you file type of tile in $type variable. Hope this help :)

You can use pathinfo for this like below:

<?php
$path_parts = pathinfo($filepath);

echo $path_parts['extension']; // You can get the file extension for this
?>
