finfo->__construct() — Create a new fileinfo resource
Procedural style
Object oriented style (constructor):
This function opens a magic database and returns its resource.
One or disjunction of more Fileinfo constants.
Name of a magic database file, usually something like /path/to/magic.mime. If not specified, the MAGIC environment variable is used. If this variable is not set either, /usr/share/misc/magic is used by default. A .mime and/or .mgc suffix is added if needed.
Returns a magic database resource on success or FALSE on failure.
Example#1 Object oriented style
<?php
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, "/usr/share/misc/magic"); // return mime type ala mimetype extension
if (!$finfo) {
echo "Opening fileinfo database failed";
exit();
}
/* get mime-type for a specific file */
$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";
echo $finfo->file($filename);
/* close connection */
$finfo->close();
?>
Example#2 Procedural style
<?php
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME, "/usr/share/misc/magic"); // return mime type ala mimetype extension
if (!$finfo) {
echo "Opening fileinfo database failed";
exit();
}
/* get mime-type for a specific file */
$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";
echo finfo_file($finfo, $filename);
/* close connection */
finfo_close($finfo);
?>
