New Comment:
it sounds to me like you mime magic file is invalid and
subsequently results in an empty mime database in PHP. This
would explain why the function always returns false. Where did
you get the mime magic file that you are using?

Description:
------------
When I use mime_content_type("picture.jpg") it always returns FALSE
instead of "image/jpeg". At runtime I see the error
"mime_content_type(): mime_magic not initialized".
I have the following in my php.ini file:
[mime_magic]
mime_magic.magicfile = "F:/PHP5/extras/magic.mime"
mime_magic.debug = On
This information shows up correctly with phpinfo().
I also notice in the phperror.log a lot of messages along the lines
of:
[27-Jul-2006 11:37:13] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: :
(F:/PHP5/extras/magic.mime:274) 'L application/x-bootable' is not a
valid mimetype, entry skipped in Unknown on line 0
Reproduce code:
---------------
$content_type = mime_content_type("picture.jpg");
if (empty($content_type)) {
echo "content_type is empty";
}
Expected result:
----------------
I expect it to return "image/jpeg" for this file.
Actual result:
--------------
It always returns FALSE.
