Bug #48885 [Com]: finfo returns mime type + charset when FILEINFO_MIME is used

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48885&edit=1 ID: 48885 Comment by: soccertux at gmail dot com Reported by: majkl578 at gmail dot com Summary: finfo returns mime type + charset when FILEINFO_MIME is used Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux Debian PHP Version: 5.3.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Found this issue because we're experiencing a problem while downloading an image from a PHP server using a java client. [quote pajoye@php.net] For the binary data, the charset will obviously be set to binary: image/gif; charset=binary [/quote] First binary is not a charset! The official charsets can be found here http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets and binary is not in this list. From rfc http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt A critical parameter that may be specified in the Content-Type field for "text/plain" data is the character set. Again not for binary blobs... Java is failing on this because binary is an unsupported set.

But then, with this changes, the comparison broke. Fortunately I have a custom findStr() function that does the job. if(findStr('image/jpeg',$mimeInfo)) ... this solved my problem easily. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-04 01:00:01] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

It should be added to the docs. Also, the docs don't mention how to link to libmagic nor mention that a bundled version is used [by default]. What's the situation? The only option I see with './configure --help' is --disable-fileinfo ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-27 03:16:33] svn@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of scottmac Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=286383 Log: Update documentation to reflect change with the internal libmagic updates.
