#33028 [Bgs]: mime_content_type returns inaccurate Office content types

ID: 33028 User updated by: matt at kanchi dot org Reported By: matt at kanchi dot org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: OS X PHP Version: 4.3.10 New Comment: Well, I upgraded file to 4.13 (the latest version), and the MIME magic file may be more complicated but it returns the same thing. Since PHP relies on this file, wouldn't it make sense to check the extension against what the MIME magic file returns to determine if it's correct? I would think a warning would at least be warranted in the documentation until it's resolved. Who knows, maybe I'm the only one who's having this problem. Anyway, I guess I'll just manually handle Office extensions or something.

No PHP bug -> bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-14 00:55:38] matt at kanchi dot org In case you meant "file -i /path/to/file.ppt", that returns the same as mime_content_type does (in my case) for those files. -k returns only one result. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-14 00:50:38] matt at kanchi dot org Gotcha. It returns: (filename): Microsoft Office Document ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-13 23:33:09] tony2001@php.net No, I meant running this command in console. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-13 22:37:18] matt at kanchi dot org Do you mean mime_content_type("file /path/to/file")? If so, that returns the error, "mime_magic: invalid mode 0156130." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
