It does the same, if i pass the /etc/magic.mime, but that file appears to be empty. PS: i didn't find the PHP version in the dropdown, my PHP Version 5.6.4-4ubuntu6 PS2: I also didn't find the Fileinfo package in the 'Package Affected' dropdown (it is in the Advanced search, but not in the Report a Bug form) Test script: --------------- $finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME); $mime = $finfo->file('/path/to/file'); Expected result: ---------------- it should produce the file mime type Actual result: -------------- Warning is thrown ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69773&edit=1
