#48885 [Tbd]: finfo returns mime type + charset when FILEINFO_MIME is used

ID: 48885 User updated by: majkl578 at gmail dot com Reported By: majkl578 at gmail dot com Status: To be documented Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux Debian PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: Look: I tested the code mentioned in bug report on php 5.2.10, i used a JPEG image: On php 5.3.0 returns 'image/jpeg; charset=binary' On php 5.2.10 returns 'image/jpeg' only. So, my question is: is it a bug or a feature in 5.3? If it's a feature: 1. it is NOT backward compatible. 2. it does not have any meaning for files like images etc, only for text files. So?
