Mime Magic and FileInfo Help

[tinman77]

Hello,

I'm having a terrible time using the functions finfo_open and
finfo_file. I'm using PHP 5 on IIS 5.1 and Windows XP. I have enabled
php_mime_magic. dll and php_fileinfo.dl l and also added the lines
mime_magic.debu g = Off and
mime_magic.magi cfile = "C:\Program Files\PHP\extra s\magic.mime".

Now my phpinfo() says fileinfo support is enabled and mime_magic
support is enabled. However, I keep getting this error:
Warning: finfo::finfo() [function.finfo-finfo]: Failed to load magic
database at '(null)'. in C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\visl\contri bute.php on
line 43

Warning: finfo::buffer() [function.finfo-buffer]: The invalid fileinfo
object. in C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\visl\contri bute.php on line 44

I have tried everything I can think of and I have Googled everything
under the sun I can think of. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Ryan

Don't give it the extension just "...\magic" . The extension is added
automatically.

BTW - did you try googling for this? A search on just "mime.magic "
turned up a bogus bug report containing this information as the fifth hit.

Jerry,

I took your advice and removed the ".mime" and now I get "mime_magic
support invalid magic file, disabled" in phpinfo(). I Googled
everything I could think of yesterday and that's why I posted here.
And I'm still getting the same errors about failing to load the magic
database at '(null)'.

Ryan,

It sounds like it's now finding the file, but the file is in the
incorrect format.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but the default file has UNIX line
endings; you didn't possibly try to edit and save it with a Windows
editor, did you?

How does the file look?

RESOLVED:
I have spent countless hours trying to figure this one out and I have
but I've done it a bit different than how I was trying. I downloaded
GnuWin32 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=23617& package_id=1887 8) and installed it. In the directory C:
\Program Files\GnuWin32\ share\file there are 4 files. Place these
files in C:\PHP\extras (or whatever your setup is) and then pass the
directory to finfo_open as the 2nd parameter. Note in my example below
magic is a file without an extension (ie. not a directory). Hope this
helps someone.

Example:
$handle = finfo_open(FILE INFO_MIME,'C:\P HP\extras\magic ');
$mimetype = finfo_file($han dle,$_FILES['media']['tmp_name']);

I found my solution at http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7555.
