Fast generation of uptodate mime types:

echo
generateUpToDateMimeArray ( APACHE_MIME_TYPES_URL );
?>

Output:
$mime_types = array(
‘123’ => ‘application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3’,
‘3dml’ => ‘text/vnd.in3d.3dml’,
‘3g2’ => ‘video/3gpp2’,
‘3gp’ => ‘video/3gpp’,
‘7z’ => ‘application/x-7z-compressed’,
‘aab’ => ‘application/x-authorware-bin’,
‘aac’ => ‘audio/x-aac’,
‘aam’ => ‘application/x-authorware-map’,
‘aas’ => ‘application/x-authorware-seg’,
.

There is a composer package that will do this:
https://github.com/ralouphie/mimey

$mimes = new \ Mimey \ MimeTypes ;

// Convert extension to MIME type:
$mimes -> getMimeType ( ‘json’ ); // application/json

// Convert MIME type to extension:
$mimes -> getExtension ( ‘application/json’ ); // json

and string detection on text files may fail if you check a file encoded with signed UTF-8. The UTF-8 signature is a two bytes code (0xFF 0xFE) that prepends the file in order to force UTF-8 recognition (you may check it on an hexadecimal editor).

For me mime_content_type didn’t work in Linux before I added

to php.ini (remember to find the correct path to mime.magic)

using
function detectFileMimeType ( $filename = » )
$filename = escapeshellcmd ( $filename );
$command = «file -b —mime-type -m /usr/share/misc/magic < $filename >» ;

$mimeType = shell_exec ( $command );

return trim ( $mimeType );
>
?>
should work on most shared linux hosts without errors. It should also work on Windows hosts with msysgit installed.

Lukas V is IMO missing some point. The MIME type of a file may not be corresponding to the file suffix.

Imagine someone would obfuscate some PHP code in a .gif file, the file suffix would be ‘GIF’ but the MIME would be text/plain or even text/html.

Another example is files fetched via a distant server (wget / fopen / file / fsockopen. ). The server can issue an error, i.e. 404 Not Found, wich again is text/html, whatever you save the file to (download_archive.rar).

His provided function should begin by the test of the function existancy like :

function MIMEalternative($file)
if(function_exists(‘mime_content_type’))
return mime_content_type($file);
else
return ($file);

I see a lot of comments suggesting doing file extension sniffing (i.e. assuming .jpg files are JPEG images) when proper file-type sniffing functions are unavailable.
I want to point out that there is a much more accurate way.
If neither mime_content_type() nor Fileinfo is available to you and you are running *any* UNIX variant since the 70s, including Mac OS, OS X, Linux, etc. (and most web hosting is), just make a system call to ‘file(1)’.
Doing something like this:
echo system ( «file -bi »» );
?>
will output something like «text/html; charset=us-ascii». Some systems won’t add the charset bit, but strip it off just in case.
The ‘-bi’ bit is important. However, you can use a command like this:
echo system ( «file -b »» ); // without the ‘i’ after ‘-b’
?>
to output a human-readable string, like «HTML document text», which can sometimes be useful.
The only drawback is that your scripts will not work on Windows, but is this such a problem? Just about all web hosts use a UNIX.
It is a far better way than just examining the file extension.

Here’s a simple function to return MIME types, based on the Apache mime.types file. [The one in my previous submission, which has since been replaced by this one] only works properly if mime.types is formatted as Windows text. The updated version below corrects this problem. Thanks to Mike for pointing this out.

function get_mime_type ( $filename , $mimePath = ‘../etc’ ) <
$fileext = substr ( strrchr ( $filename , ‘.’ ), 1 );
if (empty( $fileext )) return ( false );
$regex = «/^([\w\+\-\.\/]+)\s+(\w+\s)*( $fileext \s)/i» ;
$lines = file ( » $mimePath /mime.types» );
foreach( $lines as $line ) <
if ( substr ( $line , 0 , 1 ) == ‘#’ ) continue; // skip comments
$line = rtrim ( $line ) . » » ;
if (! preg_match ( $regex , $line , $matches )) continue; // no match to the extension
return ( $matches [ 1 ]);
>
return ( false ); // no match at all
>
?>

Notes:
[1] Requires mime.types file distributed with Apache (normally found at ServerRoot/conf/mime.types). If you are using shared hosting, download the file with the Apache distro and then upload it to a directory on your web server that php has access to.

[2] First param is the filename (required). Second parameter is path to mime.types file (optional; defaults to home/etc/). [3] Based on MIME types registered with IANA (http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html). Recognizes 630 extensions associated with 498 MIME types. [4] Asserts MIME type based on filename extension. Does not examine the actual file; the file does not even have to exist. [5] Examples of use:
>> echo get_mime_type(‘myFile.xml’);
>> application/xml
>> echo get_mime_type(‘myPath/myFile.js’);
>> application/javascript
>> echo get_mime_type(‘myPresentation.ppt’);
>> application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
>> echo get_mime_type(‘http://mySite.com/myPage.php);
>> application/x-httpd-php
>> echo get_mime_type(‘myPicture.jpg’);
>> image/jpeg
>> echo get_mime_type(‘myMusic.mp3’);
>> audio/mpeg
and so on.

To create an associative array containing MIME types, use:
function get_mime_array ( $mimePath = ‘../etc’ )
<
$regex = «/([\w\+\-\.\/]+)\t+([\w\s]+)/i» ;
$lines = file ( » $mimePath /mime.types» , FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES );
foreach( $lines as $line ) <
if ( substr ( $line , 0 , 1 ) == ‘#’ ) continue; // skip comments
if (! preg_match ( $regex , $line , $matches )) continue; // skip mime types w/o any extensions
$mime = $matches [ 1 ];
$extensions = explode ( » » , $matches [ 2 ]);
foreach( $extensions as $ext ) $mimeArray [ trim ( $ext )] = $mime ;
>
return ( $mimeArray );

File upload content type php

I think the way an array of attachments works is kind of cumbersome. Usually the PHP guys are right on the money, but this is just counter-intuitive. It should have been more like:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => facepalm.jpg
[type] => image/jpeg
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpn3FmFr
[error] => 0
[size] => 15476
)

Anyways, here is a fuller example than the sparce one in the documentation above:

foreach ( $_FILES [ «attachment» ][ «error» ] as $key => $error )
$tmp_name = $_FILES [ «attachment» ][ «tmp_name» ][ $key ];
if (! $tmp_name ) continue;

$name = basename ( $_FILES [ «attachment» ][ «name» ][ $key ]);

if ( $error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK )
if ( move_uploaded_file ( $tmp_name , «/tmp/» . $name ) )
$uploaded_array [] .= «Uploaded file ‘» . $name . «‘.
\n» ;
else
$errormsg .= «Could not move uploaded file ‘» . $tmp_name . «‘ to ‘» . $name . «‘
\n» ;
>
else $errormsg .= «Upload error. [» . $error . «] on file ‘» . $name . «‘
\n» ;
>
?>

Do not use Coreywelch or Daevid’s way, because their methods can handle only within two-dimensional structure. $_FILES can consist of any hierarchy, such as 3d or 4d structure.

The following example form breaks their codes:

As the solution, you should use PSR-7 based zendframework/zend-diactoros.

use Psr \ Http \ Message \ UploadedFileInterface ;
use Zend \ Diactoros \ ServerRequestFactory ;

$request = ServerRequestFactory :: fromGlobals ();

if ( $request -> getMethod () !== ‘POST’ ) http_response_code ( 405 );
exit( ‘Use POST method.’ );
>

$uploaded_files = $request -> getUploadedFiles ();

if (
!isset( $uploaded_files [ ‘files’ ][ ‘x’ ][ ‘y’ ][ ‘z’ ]) ||
! $uploaded_files [ ‘files’ ][ ‘x’ ][ ‘y’ ][ ‘z’ ] instanceof UploadedFileInterface
) http_response_code ( 400 );
exit( ‘Invalid request body.’ );
>

$file = $uploaded_files [ ‘files’ ][ ‘x’ ][ ‘y’ ][ ‘z’ ];

if ( $file -> getError () !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK ) http_response_code ( 400 );
exit( ‘File uploading failed.’ );
>

$file -> moveTo ( ‘/path/to/new/file’ );

The documentation doesn’t have any details about how the HTML array feature formats the $_FILES array.

Array
(
[document] => Array
(
[name] => sample-file.doc
[type] => application/msword
[tmp_name] => /tmp/path/phpVGCDAJ
[error] => 0
[size] => 0
)
)

Multi-files with HTML array feature —

Array
(
[documents] => Array
(
[name] => Array
(
[0] => sample-file.doc
[1] => sample-file.doc
)

[type] => Array
(
[0] => application/msword
[1] => application/msword
) [tmp_name] => Array
(
[0] => /tmp/path/phpVGCDAJ
[1] => /tmp/path/phpVGCDAJ
)

The problem occurs when you have a form that uses both single file and HTML array feature. The array isn’t normalized and tends to make coding for it really sloppy. I have included a nice method to normalize the $_FILES array.

function normalize_files_array ( $files = [])

foreach( $files as $index => $file )

if (! is_array ( $file [ ‘name’ ])) $normalized_array [ $index ][] = $file ;
continue;
>

foreach( $file [ ‘name’ ] as $idx => $name ) $normalized_array [ $index ][ $idx ] = [
‘name’ => $name ,
‘type’ => $file [ ‘type’ ][ $idx ],
‘tmp_name’ => $file [ ‘tmp_name’ ][ $idx ],
‘error’ => $file [ ‘error’ ][ $idx ],
‘size’ => $file [ ‘size’ ][ $idx ]
];
>

?>

The following is the output from the above method.

Array
(
[document] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => sample-file.doc
[type] => application/msword
[tmp_name] => /tmp/path/phpVGCDAJ
[error] => 0
[size] => 0
)

[documents] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => sample-file.doc
[type] => application/msword
[tmp_name] => /tmp/path/phpVGCDAJ
[error] => 0
[size] => 0
) [1] => Array
(
[name] => sample-file.doc
[type] => application/msword
[tmp_name] => /tmp/path/phpVGCDAJ
[error] => 0
[size] => 0
)
