Req #76545 [Opn->Wfx]: fileinfo not installed by default

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76545&edit=1 ID: 76545 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: felix dot brei at imw dot fraunhofer dot de Summary: fileinfo not installed by default -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Documentation problem Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't think it makes much sense to add such distribution specific details to the PHP manual proper. In the installation section there are some specifics, for instance regarding OpenBSD[1], but looking at the mentioned version number (5.8) this documentation may already be out-dated. Feel free to add a user note regarding current FreeBSD specifics, though.

I was wondering if this is worth mentioning in the above installation notes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76545&edit=1
