Hi all,

I'm facing a bad behaviour of 'file' command used by fileinfo PECL module
(recommanded for mime-type checking):
* Some Microsoft Excel documents are detected as Microsoft Word documents
* Some HTML files are just text/plain
* ...

I tested on multiple machines (with different version of file) and I
sometimes obtain a diffrent behaviour but never the one expected :/ I also
looked for the latest version of file but it seems that the file used to
detect the mime-type is out of date...

My questions are:
* If you already encounter this problem, how did you solve it ?
* Where can I find an up-to-date version of magic number list usable with
file for mime type checking ?

Thanks,
Regards,
Manuel
