Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75380&edit=1 ID: 75380 Comment by: nemanja at testseek dot com Reported by: d dot naumenko dot a at gmail dot com Summary: finfo_file treats XML file as text/xml Status: No Feedback Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: 3v4l PHP Version: 7.2.0RC4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is really a regression caused by upstream. Now after upgrade to 7.3 I need to refactor constants... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-17 09:54:06] mwaghmare7 at gmail dot com Getting different REAL MIME type from function finfo_file. The issue may be the different Operating Systems or due to Different PHP versions. But, While debugging the issue, When I try to upload the XML on localhost I got the text/xml as a real MIME type and on live site it's application/xml. Below is the debugging steps: File: /wp-includes/functions.php line 2346 // Validate files that didn't get validated during previous checks. if ( $type && ! $real_mime && extension_loaded( 'fileinfo' ) ) { $finfo = finfo_open( FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE ); $real_mime = finfo_file( $finfo, $file ); finfo_close( $finfo ); // @DEBUGGING... echo '<pre>'; var_dump( FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE ) . '<br/>'; var_dump( $finfo ) . '<br/>'; var_dump( $file ) . '<br/>'; var_dump( $real_mime ) . '<br/>'; wp_die(); The output of the above code is below on LOCALHOST: PHP: Version 7.2.4 System: Windows NT M 6.3 build 9600 (Windows 8.1 Professional Edition) i586 int(16) resource(767) of type (Unknown) string(46) "C:\Users\Yum\AppData\Local\Temp/wxr-LccAYF.tmp" string(8) "text/xml" But, It is different on the LIVE site. PHP: Version 7.0.32-4+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 System: Linux ip-172-31-25-204 4.4.0-134-generic #160-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 14:58:00 UTC 2018 x86_64 int(16) resource(747) of type (Unknown) string(19) "/tmp/wxr-YNkiH5.tmp" string(15) "application/xml" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-05 04:23:00] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided.

Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-10-26 16:38:16] spam2 at rhsoft dot net because it's terrible when you have a difference between file in your terminal and PHP caused by the fork of libmagic and bundle it instead using system libraries this leads to some images reported as applications/octed-stream over now 5 years while a report at the Linux distribution fixed it within days for the cli utility using Zend memory manager and open-basedir don't justify the fork, the memory manager don't matter, open_basedir should be checked way earlier before calling library code at all and for stream wrappers temp files in the shim layer would be a solution ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-10-26 16:29:39] ab@php.net Thanks for the report. Why is it supposed to be a bug? Seems the behavior is intentional https://github.com/file/file/commit/cee2b49cdb6c995c1a449aa399f80145e28c6a8a in the upstream data. Also wrt RFC 7303 the types are same. The data version depends on the file utility version and a particular distro. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
