note 82551 added to function.finfo-open

Platform: WinXP-SP2, PHP5.2.5, MySQL 5.0, Apache 2.2.8 After reading former notes, I wasn't able to load my magic database: 'magic.mime' file (donwloaded from GnuWin32 project, zipped with the binary files v4.21). I always got an invalid $finfo object or finfo_open(...) returned FALSE. In order to be able to load the 'magic.mime' file, Fileinfo library (bundled in PHP5.2.5) also requires 'magic' file. For example: 1. Database: c:\php\magic.mime c:\php\magic 2. PHP Code: <?php $filname = 'c:\php\php.ini'; $finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, 'c:\php\magic'); if (!$finfo) return false; echo $finfo->file($filename); ?> For further info see: http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7555 Pay attention to comments added by 'christophe dot charron dot xul at gmail dot com' NOTE: Before upgrading to PHP5.2.5, I was working with PHP5.2.1 and it only required 'magic.mime' file. ---- Server IP: 130.206.1.5 Probable Submitter: 193.33.2.101 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-open.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82551 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82551/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82551/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82551/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82551/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82551/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82551/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82551 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82551 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
