You could probably check with bug #68731 whether it's reproducible for you. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-07-04 13:56:32] spam2 at rhsoft dot net 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-07-04 13:53:03] fayez at bem981 dot cu dot cc 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
