note 106554 rejected from ref.fileinfo by thiago

Note Submitter: anderslinden at bredband dot net ---- When I read the help page for the deprecated function mime_content_type, I can see it has the following declaration: string mime_content_type ( string $filename ) I can also read this: Warning This function has been deprecated as the PECL extension Fileinfo provides the same functionality (and more) in a much cleaner way. So I check the help page for finfo-file, and here you see the finfo way of getting mime types for files in a directory: <?php $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE); // return mime type ala mimetype extension foreach (glob("*") as $filename) { echo finfo_file($finfo, $filename) . "\n"; } finfo_close($finfo); ?> So, the later method was _cleaner_? I beg to differ
