Mime Type Compatibility Function
Posted: Fri May 06, 2011 12:06 am
Another function from my library that helps with the incompatibilities between systems with different php versions. It returns the mime type of the given file using one of the available methods, if none are available (which would be weird) the file extension is used.
you can think of this in the same way as the native mime_content_type, except that it will work all of the time.
function file_get_mime($path){
if (is_readable($path) === false){
return false;
}
if (is_callable('finfo_file')){
if (defined('FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE')){
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
}else{
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME);
}
$type = finfo_file($finfo, $path);
finfo_close($finfo);
return strtolower($type);
}
if (is_callable('mime_content_type')){
return strtolower(mime_content_type($path));
}
if (is_callable('shell_exec')){
$type = shell_exec('file --mime-type -p ' . escapeshellarg($path));
if ($type !== ''){
$type = end(explode(' ', $type));
return trim(strtolower($type));
}
}

The huge list of extensions was taken from the /etc/mime.types file on my laptop you can think of this in the same way as the native mime_content_type, except that it will work all of the time.
