Thanks Chris and Anderw.

I found the answer I was looking for in the fileinfo PECL extension 
(http://pecl.php.net/package/fileinfo). With this extension I can do the 
following:

// Get the image data (see previous message for psuedo code)
$fi = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME);
$contentType = finfo_buffer($fi, $image);
// Set the headers and output the message.

I'll probably end up doing a check to see if the extension is loaded and 
if not use method 1 that you mentioned.

Thanks,
Scott
