如何为特定文件扩展名类型显示特定图像？

Question

I'm trying to implement a php, mySQL Admin panel/dashboard which shows a small preview image of the file that has been uploaded, if the file is not a jpg, jpeg, png or gif then I would like to display a placeholder image.

So for example if the uploaded file is actually a jpg, the preview column in the table would show the image associated to the file name stored in the db (this I have working) but if it's a pdf then it should show a stock/filler/predefined image of my choosing.

I'm hoping to do this in php but have very limited knowledge in this area with this project being my first large php project.

I have tried to implement this functionality using a js/jquery switch but have had no such luck, Code for the last attempt included below:

---

 $(document).ready(function() {

 var fileName, fileExtension;

 fileName = event.target.innerHTML;

 fileExtension = fileName.replace(/^.*\./, '');

 switch (fileExtension) {

  case 'png': case 'jpeg': case 'jpg':
      $('#tableImg').attr("src","<?php echo $row["fileName"]; ?>");
      break;

  case 'zip':
      $('#tableImg').attr("src","images/pdf.png");
      break;

  case 'pdf':
      $('#tableImg').attr("src","images/pdf.png");
      break;
    }
});

I am no longer using this method, it was just my last attempt to get it working.

The preview column is currently called in the php file like so;

<img id="tableImg"  class="admin-thumb" src="<?php echo $row["fileName"]; ?>" alt="">

---

I know that my current methodology will only allow the files with jpg, png and other image related extensions to show but I can't figure out how to swap out the echo $row["filename"]

What I think I'm after, and please correct me if I'm wrong is either an if, else if, else or a php switch. I just have no idea how to make it work the way mentioned earlier.

To recap: I need an assist making a preview column of a table show either the image associated to the file name/URL or if the file type is a zip, pdf or non image file it shows a placeholder image selected by me. I did have a screenshot to share but I don't have 10 rep to do so, yet.

Any help is appreciated and my thanks in advance.

SplFileInfo should provide the extention and then just use a switch statement to set the image you want to show.

$myfile=$row["fileName"];
$info = new SplFileInfo($myfile);
$ext = $info->getExtension();

switch ($ext) {
 case 'zip':
    $image='zip.png';
    break;
 case 'pdf':
    $image='pdf.png';
    break;
 default:
    $image=$myFile;
}


<img id="tableImg"  class="admin-thumb" src="<?= $image ?>" alt="">
