Fatal error: Cannot redeclare mime_content_type()

[kostanza]

Hello,

 

thank you for taking the time to look at my problem.

 

I am getting this error. The php won't work.

 

function mime_content_type($f)
{
$f = escapeshellarg($f);
return trim( `file -bi $f` );
}

 

 

It's saying that only the "}" on the last line is the source of the error. Any help as to why would be appreciated.

replace tilt(`) character with quote (") in the line

return trim( "file -bi $f" );

your function name is the same as a php built in function. use a different name for your function.

 

 

@PravinS, the back-tick syntax in php is used for executing an operating system shell command.
