Ok - the problem here is not fixed by my patch (just avoided). The problem looks to be in file_mime_type() function
The function relies on finfo(), which has problems with the /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc file. The file is not working correctly for the version of PHP that some are using - see: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61940#1336148541 Or it relies on mime_content_type() which is deprecated. So the question is now that it really only relies on finfo() how are we going to deal with the magic.mgc file being incorrect for some? Can we include the needed magic.mgc files that work like mentioned in the above link? Will that be allowed? will it cause headaches? is there an alternate way to check mimetypes? ** Bug watch added: bugs.php.net/ #61940 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61940 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

I think the match-up of mime type and icon doesn't work properly.
