I think the author of any extension can mark it deprecated if he/she thinks it is such..and there IS replacement: fileinfo extension found in PECL. And ext/mimetype has been marked as EXPERIMENTAL itself so I wouldn't call it 'stable' either. Fileinfo at least is under active maintenance, I'd rather use that if I needed this kind of functionality any day. Further rant > /dev/null Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-04 12:59:16] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't mark it as bogus if it isn't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-04 11:35:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are maybe right but it's not a documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-21 19:19:12] peter at jingo dot com Description: ------------ The documentation for the Mimetype Functions says that it is deprecated and to use the FileInfo PECL extension which is not stable, experimental and has no documentation. The mimetype functions shouldn't be depreciated until a suitable replacement is available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31644&edit=1
