 Reported By:      majkl578 at gmail dot com
 Status:           To be documented
 Bug Type:         Filesystem function related
 Operating System: Linux Debian
 PHP Version:      5.3.0
 New Comment:

Look:
I tested the code mentioned in bug report on php 5.2.10, i used a JPEG
image:
On php 5.3.0 returns 'image/jpeg; charset=binary'
On php 5.2.10 returns 'image/jpeg' only.
So, my question is: is it a bug or a feature in 5.3?

If it's a feature:
1. it is NOT backward compatible.
2. it does not have any meaning for files like images etc, only for
text files.

So?

ok sorry for this.

but if it is correct, informations here:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-file.php
are misleading (see
Example #1), because there is not mentioned anything about this, just
about mime type.

This is correct, rfc2045 requires the character set to be there for
mime type.

Description:
------------
When finfo is used with FILEINFO_MIME flag for a file, it returns mime
type + charset (in this format: mime/type; charset=foo


Configure Command:
'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs'
'--with-mysql'
'--with-mysqli' '--with-curl' '--with-sqlite' '--with-gd'
'--enable-mbstring' '--with-openssl' '--disable-short-tags'
'--with-mcrypt' '--with-bz2' '--with-zlib' '--enable-zip' 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$obj = new \finfo(FILEINFO_MIME);
echo $obj->file('/tmp/phpbug'); //in file is plain text

Expected result:
----------------
text/plain

Actual result:
--------------
text/plain; charset=us-ascii
