        $name = $_FILES['videop']['name'];
        $size = $_FILES['videop']['size'];

          if(strlen($name))
           {
             $ext = strtolower(pathinfo($video_numid, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)); 
             $video_numid = alphaID(microtime(true) * 10000);
             if(in_array($ext,$valid_formats))
               {
                if($size<(50024*50024))
                  {
                   $actual_video_name = time().$uid.".".$ext;
                   $tmp = $_FILES['videop']['tmp_name'];
                   $video_numid = $_FILES['file']['name'];          
                   if(move_uploaded_file($tmp, $path.$actual_video_name))
                     {
                      shell_exec("ffmpeg -i $path.$actual_video_name.flv -f flv -s 650x390 $path.$actual_video_name.mp4");
                      shell_exec("ffmpeg -i $path.$actual_video_name.mp4 -vcodec png -ss 00:00:15 -s 650x390 -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo $path.$actual_video_name.png");
                      $data=$Swamp->Video_Upload($uid,$actual_video_name);
                      $newdata=$Swamp->Get_Upload_Video($uid,$actual_video_name);
                 if($newdata)
                   {
                    echo '<div class="video_prew"><img src="'.$base_url.$path.$actual_video_name.'" width="100%" height="auto" class="preview_video" id="'.$newdata['id'].'"/></div>';

                    }
               }
                else
               {
               echo "Fail upload folder with read access.";
          }
      }
        else
     echo "Video file size max 10 MB";                  
   } else
     echo "Invalid file video format."; 
 } else
   echo "Please select video..!";
   exit;
 }

Why are you relying on extension to see the supported format? — Elixir Techne, Feb 18 '15 at 14:07

The better approach to validate supported format is to read the file information first and parse it properly. Use ffmpeg -i "filename" and that will give you details about the multimedia file and the you can prepare list of supported video format.

I have done some research and found that we should use ffprobe to get file details. Refer link for more details.

You are referring incorrect variable while reading file extension.

Replace

$ext = strtolower(pathinfo($video_numid, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

With

$ext = strtolower(pathinfo($name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
