Back in Jan/Feb of 2007 I raised the issue of including the pecl fileinfo package into 5.3 and 6.0.
This idea was mostly regarded as a good idea as PHP lacks any method of checking file types, aside from checking the file extension. The lack of checking is, I feel, a major oversite in the package and whilst others agreed with this, nothing seems to have become of the idea, short of being added to the TODO list on http://wiki.php.net/todo/php53 A small mention was made on the Zend devzone blog here also http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/1599#Heading2 The original thread on this list began here back in Feb 2007 after some discussion on irc. http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=117174936026870&w=2 Is it possible we discuss this inclusion? I understand there is a little work that needs to happen to wrap the extension up for inclusion.
