Note Submitter: hans at lintoo dot dk ---- When using fileinfo, I had a *lot* of problems with the mime file. Using Apache2, FreeBSD and PHP5, I had no mime file is supply the fileinfo. So I had to use a custom mime file from a previous distribution of Apache, the files can be downloaded from here: http://www.lintoo.dk/public/magic and http://www.lintoo.dk/public/magic.mime It seems that both files are needed, although only one is supplied for fileinfo. I used it for my file object: <?php $info = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME,"./magic"); $this->fileType = $info->file($openpath); ?> Should be rather self-explanatory, just remember to provide the path to the magic file as the second parametre when creating the fileinfo object. I hope the originial creators of the magic files do not mind i uploaded them to http://lintoo.dk/ and share them with you. I mean no disrepect, but I cannot remember where I got the files.
