The closest I have found on my google is the
application/msexcel type, but this spawns Excel when
viewing the file, and I do not want this behaviour.
Not sure what is happening with the list this morning, but it is eerily
quiet!
Anyway, a little bit of tinkering and I found that the answer
you could use the command file -bin your_filename and capture the output using popen
or exec.
i have found this to work well..
seee below
function mimetype($file)
{
// execute command
$fp = popen(file -bin $file,r);
// determine mimetype to output
if(!$fp)
{
// default

Hi,
Is it possible to get a mime type of a file?
I need to be able to attach files, but I won't always know the mime type of what is
being attached.
I could look at the extension of the file for a general Idea, but I wouldn't know if
a .jpg
If I remember correctly, there are various articles about file upload in
sites such as www.phpbuilder.com,
www.codewalkers.com and such. Hope that helps you get started :)
