#47262 [NEW]: mime-info no longer available but documentation doesn't say that
From: php-bugs-2009 at ryandesign dot com
Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: mime-info no longer available but documentation doesn't say that
Description:
------------
The documentation for the mime-magic extension
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mime-magic.installation.php
says I can "compile PHP with the configure switch --with-mime-magic to get
support for mime-type functions" but php 5.3.0alpha3 and 5.3.0beta1 say
this is an unknown configure option:
Notice: Following unknown configure options were used:
--with-mime-magic
Check './configure --help' for available options
And it's not listed in ./configure --help.
php 5.3.0alpha1 still accepted the option. I did not test 5.3.0alpha2.
I see in the NEWS file that the fileinfo extension was brought into php as
of 5.3.0alpha1 and is intended as a replacement for mime-magic.
Hoping I've got this all right, and if it's intended that mime-magic
disappear with 5.3.0, then this ticket is a request to update the
mime-magic documentation to indicate this and that fileinfo is its
replacement.
