Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-11-03 16:28:22] cmb@php.net Does that still happen with any of the actively supported PHP versions[1]? If so, please provide the file which triggers the unexpected behavior for download. [1] <https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-23 10:24:14] php at kingsquare dot nl A possible answer to this bug lies in the inability to load a non standard mime.magic file. (see bug #9798) the problem below can be fixed using this (and only this) extra paramter in the finfo_open() call: finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME, '/usr/share/file/magic'); BUT, copying the magic file OR using a different file will not work: finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME, '/some/other/location'); on Debian (or Ubuntu) systems the default magic file (which ever that may be) is apperntly not used nor is a error given about not being able to open the magic database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-02 05:19:52] online at patrick-brueckner dot de Description: ------------ The below code does not return a mimetype string but an identify-like output. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $oFinfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME); echo finfo_file($oFinfo,"/home/paddy/Firefox_wallpaper.png"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- image/png Actual result: -------------- PNG image data, 400 x 264, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=57859&edit=1
