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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47262&edit=1
