Getting Apache content types

[Joshua Beall]

Hi All,

Is there a way in PHP to know what all the content-types that Apache knows
about are? Basically, what I want to be able to do is look at an extension,
and then know what content-type Apache would send by default it that file
was requested via HTTP.

Is there a way to do this?

Maybe this?

http://www.php.net/mime_content_type

This appears to get it from a file, called "magic.mime "

This might be what I wind up doing, but I was hoping to get something that
had a 1-to-1 correspondence with how Apache was setup. Unless Apache also
uses magic.mime?

Oops ...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mime-magic.php

"This extension has been deprecated ..."

It appears that Apache falls back on magic.mime if it can't determine
the file type with the mod_mime module.

I'm not sure what Apache uses, but there's a PHP function 'mime_content_t ype'
which MAY take infos from the same source. Probably this depends on system
platform on which Apache works.
