Note Submitter: john2496 at gmail dot com ---- As of now, mime_content_type, has been depreciated. This version of mime_content_type works well as a replacement and uses a method of mime detection previous posted. Other methods can be added in case the default method does not suffice. if (!function_exists('mime_content_type')) { function mime_content_type($file, $method = 0) { if ($method == 0) { ob_start(); system('/usr/bin/file -i -b ' . realpath($file)); $type = ob_get_clean(); $parts = explode(';', $type); return trim($parts[0]); } else if ($method == 1) { // another method here } } } // image/png echo mime_content_type('somepng.png');
