The only way to get the +functionality in place was to get the file sources and replace +the input and output routines within with code interfacing to +your own stuff. This work was originally done by the developers +of apache mod_magic, the mime_magic extension just replaced the +apache specific parts with their PHP counterparts. + +Now that the codebase of the file utilities is cleanly devided +into the libmagic library and the file utility built upon it +the original hack is no longer needed. Using libmagic and the +fileinfo extension does not only provide a cleaner interface +to files functionality but also additional functionality so +that theres no reason to keep around mime_magic anymore. + +To keep existing code originaly coded for mime_magic without +changes you may add the following compatibility wrapper function +to your codebase: + +function mime_content_type($file) { + static $finfo = false; + + if ($finfo === false) { + $finfo = finfo_open(MAGIC_MIME); + } + + if (is_resource($file)) { + $buf = fread($fp, 65536); + return finfo_buffer($buf); + } else { + return finfo_file($file); + } +}
