no feedback was provided?

i said "sadly i don't see here any option to attach the image" in the original report
and a *really* interested developer would have offered to send the file per mail to him - what
feedback do you expect on a bugtracker from the early 1990's with no capabilities?

Usage of external libmagic isn't possible for various reasons, the patched version is tightly
integrated with PHP. 

@spam2, @fayez, which file/PHP versions was used?

@spam2, please post the image you've an issue with to http://picpaste.com/ . You could probably check with bug #68731
whether it's reproducible for you.

Thanks.

i know by myself that it works for most files, but this bugtracker lacks capability to attach the
affected file, 

anyways, if php would use systems file-utilities/libraries the behavior of PHP and other
applications would be indetical and it would not need to carry some MB of redundant data

i tried this example with gif image size:8.2m
and i get this result:
/usr/bin/file -b --mime-type
image/gif

finfo_file(filename, FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE)
image/gif
it's work

what i completly don't understand is why PHP obviously brings it's on mime-magic and
static implementation instead just use the operating systems file-libs
