Judging by the return, the OS is looking at the mime.types file, which (on my box at least) doesn't know anything more than this. In order to get what you want, I'm afraid you might have to open the file and examine its first few bytes using the data from /usr/share/file/magic, which has a more thoroughgoing understanding of ogg files. Unless someone's built a class which does this for you. Paul -- Paul M. Foster -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
