This question is a two parter....
a) anyone else noticing filetype() failing on ISO image files?
Warning: filetype(): Lstat failed for /var/lib/samba/some/file.iso
Nope, didn't fail for me. But what exactly do you want to know about
the file? filetype only check wheter the the argument given is a fifo,
char, dir, block, link, file, or unknown.
What you're doing below with the file command is getting the content
type, there you could use the function mime_content_type, but it is
deprecated, and seems not to work always. The manual forwards you to
the fileinfo functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-file.php
example 592 does what you're doing with the file command below.
b) I have a script that during processing will eventually call
exec('/usr/bin/file -bi '.$file)
over 1000 times, I've added a counter and when it dies on this line it's
always after 1020 exec calls, regardless of the file name I'm feeding to
`file`. I've reproduced this with both exec, shell_exec, system and the
backticks. What am I missing here?
Why does it die? Is it because te max execution time reached? then you
should extend the max executon time:
