Maybe if the function is present it could use it to lookup the content-type and then just extend the php function's functionality by providing "meaningful names" for each content-type?

this would be a solution, but i wouldn't recommend this, because: "The extension needs a copy of the simplified magic file that is distributed with the Apache httpd." [...] "Note: This extension is not capable of handling the fully decorated magic file that generally comes with standard Linux distro's and is supposed to be used with recent versions of file command." (from http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mime-magic.php) it only uses a simple magic-file, while the class uses globbing at first and the normal (not the simple) magic-file afterwards. so it should be superiour to the php-function in any way! stephan
