As fel...@php.net mentionned, if you have any type of comments at the top of your file, the problem occurs. For example, if i try to get the mime type of a js file with comments at the top, it returns "text/x-c", if i remove the comments, then it returns "text/plain", which in and of itself is not correct as it should return 'text/javascript'. Any idea how to circumvent this problem other than removing all my comments ?!?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-13 00:38:01] stuart at horuskol dot net "however, the command line tool 'mimetype' correctly identifies the file using the same library at '/usr/share/misc/magic'" I tested using the -M switch (as in my example/test script): mimetype -DM --database /usr/share/misc/magic /path/to/file/reset.css and this tells me the file is text/css on my platform - are you sure you're using the same magic database? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-12 07:52:11] ahar...@php.net I get the same result from the command line "file" program on Ubuntu 10.10: $ curl -s http://horuskol.net/reset.css | file --mime-type - /dev/stdin: text/x-c mimetype also believes it's C source: $ mimetype -DM reset.css > Data dirs are: /home/aharvey/.local/share, /usr/share/gnome, > /usr/local/share, /usr/share > Checking all magic rules > Value "/*" at offset 2 matches at /usr/share/mime/magic line 1136 reset.css: text/x-csrc The only way I can get mimetype to return text/css is if it also looks at the extension (ie is called without -M). I can't really see any way this is a PHP bug, given other programs using the same magic database are resulting in the same file being detected as C source. Closing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-11 15:39:35] fel...@php.net Strange... It's caused by the comment in the begin of the CSS file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-10 13:37:04] stuart at horuskol dot net Description: ------------ This is tested on: PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep 17 2010 13:49:46) file_info() is reporting a CSS file has having the mimetype 'text/x-c' instead of 'text/css' however, the command line tool 'mimetype' correctly identifies the file using the same library at '/usr/share/misc/magic' the file being tested is available at http://horuskol.net/reset.css Test script: --------------- PHP: $finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME); var_dump($finfo->file('/path/to/file/reset.css')); $finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, '/usr/share/misc/magic'); var_dump($finfo->file('/path/to/file/reset.css')); $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME, '/usr/share/misc/magic'); var_dump(finfo_file($finfo, '/path/to/file/reset.css')); Command Line: mimetype -DM --database /usr/share/misc/magic /path/to/file/reset.css Expected result: ---------------- string(26) "text/css; charset=us-ascii" Actual result: -------------- string(26) "text/x-c; charset=us-ascii" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53035&edit=1
