mime_magic file

[JustFoo]

Hello all,

I am attempting to use the mime_content_type('filename') function that comes in the mime_magic dll, I followed all instructions to set it up and edited the php.ini file and restarted the server and this morning it worked 2 times then just stopped working for some reason.  The script i had running doesnt show the mimetype of files anymore. 

Script:
$file = "\\pathToFile\\php.gif";
echo mime_content_type($file);

php.ini:
extension=php_mime_magic.dll
[mime_magic]
mime_magic.debug = on
mime_magic.magicfile = "c:\PHP\extras\magic.mime"

thanks for any help

Try putting [code]ini_set('display_errors',true);
error_reporting(E_ALL);[/code] in the top of the script and see if any errors are returned.

Warning: mime_content_type() [http://www.php.net/mime_magic]: mime_magic not initialized in

C:\path to script\test.php on line 6

line 6 is echo  mime_content_type($file);

mime_magic shows up if i do like phpinfo();

Did you set the correct path? Try replacing the backslashes with forward slashes and see if it helps.

same exact error idk why but a little while ago it worked fine the way i had the script it returned image/gif and then i tried a different file and it returned that mime type then when i tried a third file it just stopped printing out the type and then i did a is_function(mime_content_type) and it told me that its not a function and now im here...

Attach the magic.mime so we can see if it's a correct file (click on 'Additional Options...' when posting).

Should be the correct file. I have no idea why this don't work.

[JustFoo]

why would it say its not initialized??

[JustFoo]

now it says on my phpinfo page 

mime_magic support invalid magic file, disabled

Directive Local Value Master Value
mime_magic.debug On On
mime_magic.magicfile c:\PHP\extras\magic.mime c:\PHP\extras\magic.mime

anyway i can get a new mime.magic file or something??

[Daniel0]

Try [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=magic.mime]searching on Google for 'magic.mime'[/url].

i restarted the web server and again the function worked fine then all of a sudden just stopped working again...is there any other way to figure out the type of a file not based on the file extension alone???
