Doc #51732 [NEW]: Fileinfo __construct with explicit magic file

From: Operating system: WINNT PHP version: 5.3SVN-2010-05-03 (SVN) Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Fileinfo __construct with explicit magic file Description: ------------ Not sure i've filled in correct PHP version; it's 5.3.1 however (packaged with xampplite 1.7.3). Im trying to initialize a fileinfo (finfo) object with an explicit NULL value as 2nd parameter assuming it can locate the magic file by default. Which should be fine, corresponding the documentation; "__construct ([ int $options = FILEINFO_NONE [, string $magic_file = NULL ]] )" @ http://php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-open.php Test script: --------------- <?php $fileInfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, null); var_dump($fileInfo); $fileInfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME); var_dump($fileInfo); ?> Expected result: ---------------- object(finfo)#2 (0) { } object(finfo)#5 (0) { } Actual result: -------------- Warning: finfo::finfo(): Failed to load magic database at ''. in *** on line *** object(finfo)#2 (0) { } object(finfo)#5 (0) { } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51732&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51732&r=mysqlcfg
