mime_content_type — 检测文件的 MIME 类型
$filename
) : string返回通过使用 magic.mime 检测到的文件 MIME 类型。
filename要检测的文件名。
返回文件的 MIME 内容类型，例如
text/plain 或 application/octet-stream。 或者在失败时返回 FALSE。
失败时抛出E_WARNING警告。
Example #1 mime_content_type() 示例
<?php
echo mime_content_type('php.gif') . "\n";
echo mime_content_type('test.php');
?>
以上例程会输出：
image/gif text/plain
There is a composer package that will do this:
https://github.com/ralouphie/mimey
<?php
$mimes = new \Mimey\MimeTypes;
// Convert extension to MIME type:
$mimes->getMimeType('json'); // application/json
// Convert MIME type to extension:
$mimes->getExtension('application/json'); // json
Slight improvement over Josh Sean's code: this makes a usable and formatted php file containing the latest mime associations ( strictly using the file extension) in an array or if the file_get_contents fails ( say you are offline ) leaves the original file alone.
I made it a bit "dummer" for readability purposes, don't judge me just improve it on your own.
<?php
define('APACHE_MIME_TYPES_URL','http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types');
function generateUpToDateMimeArray($url){
$s=array();
$result = @file_get_contents($url);
if ($result == FALSE )
{
$returned = "ERROR";
}
else
{
foreach(@explode("\n",$result)as $x)
{
if(isset($x[0])&&$x[0]!=='#'&&preg_match_all('#([^\s]+)#',$x,$out)&&isset($out[1])&&($c=count($out[1]))>1)
for($i=1;$i<$c;$i++)
$s[]=' \''.$out[1][$i].'\' => \''.$out[1][0].'\'';
}
$returned = @sort($s)?'<?php' . "\n" . '$mime_types = array(' . "\n" . implode($s,",\n") . "\n);\n" . '?>':false;
}
return $returned;
}
$file_name = 'mime-array.php';
$data = generateUpToDateMimeArray(APACHE_MIME_TYPES_URL);
if ($data != "ERROR")
{
$file = fopen($file_name, 'wb') or die("cannot open $file_name\n");
fwrite($file, $data ) or die("cannot write data\n");
fclose($file);
echo "updated";
}
else
{
echo "faliure";
}
?>
All you need to do is run it once and in your code you can simply add these two lines:
<?php
include 'mime-array.php';
global $mime_types;
?>

// Here is a working version of a function that fetches the meme types from apache's built in mime list and creates an array of which the keys are the file extensions:
function generateUpToDateMimeArray($url){
$return = array();
$mimes = file_get_contents('http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types'); // make sure that allow_url_fopen is enabled!
preg_match_all('#^([^\s]{2,}?)\s+(.+?)$#ism', $mimes, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach ($matches as $match){
$exts = split(" ", $match[2]);
foreach ($exts as $ext){
$return[$ext]=$match[1];
}
}
return $return;
}
// usage:
$typeMime = generateUpToDateMimeArray();
echo $typeMime['gif'];
using
<?php
function detectFileMimeType($filename='')
{
$filename = escapeshellcmd($filename);
$command = "file -b --mime-type -m /usr/share/misc/magic {$filename}";
$mimeType = shell_exec($command);
return trim($mimeType);
}
?>
should work on most shared linux hosts without errors. It should also work on Windows hosts with msysgit installed.
additional to svogal's video files:
'mp4' => 'video/mp4',
what also works:
'mp4' => 'audio/mp4',
Fast generation of uptodate mime types:
<?php
define('APACHE_MIME_TYPES_URL','http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types');
function generateUpToDateMimeArray($url){
$s=array();
foreach(@explode("\n",@file_get_contents($url))as $x)
if(isset($x[0])&&$x[0]!=='#'&&preg_match_all('#([^\s]+)#',$x,$out)&&isset($out[1])&&($c=count($out[1]))>1)
for($i=1;$i<$c;$i++)
$s[]=' \''.$out[1][$i].'\' => \''.$out[1][0].'\'';
return @sort($s)?'$mime_types = array(<br />'.implode($s,',<br />').'<br />);':false;
}
echo
generateUpToDateMimeArray(APACHE_MIME_TYPES_URL);
?>
Output:
$mime_types = array(
'123' => 'application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3',
'3dml' => 'text/vnd.in3d.3dml',
'3g2' => 'video/3gpp2',
'3gp' => 'video/3gpp',
'7z' => 'application/x-7z-compressed',
'aab' => 'application/x-authorware-bin',
'aac' => 'audio/x-aac',
'aam' => 'application/x-authorware-map',
'aas' => 'application/x-authorware-seg',
...
Enjoy.
Here's a simple function to return MIME types, based on the Apache mime.types file. [The one in my previous submission, which has since been replaced by this one] only works properly if mime.types is formatted as Windows text. The updated version below corrects this problem. Thanks to Mike for pointing this out.
<?php
function get_mime_type($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:
<?php
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);
}
?>
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:
<?php
echo system("file -bi '<file path>'");
?>
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:
<?php
echo system("file -b '<file path>'"); // 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.

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 <lukas_v.MIMEfunction>($file);
}
I also had issues with this function.
The issue was that it would almost always return "text/plain".
echo ini_get('mime_magic.magicfile'); // returns /etc/httpd/conf/magic
I found that I needed the OS' magic.mime file instead.
You can either copy it to the existing location, or update your php.ini, you cannot use ini_set().
[root@blade conf]# mv magic magic.old
[root@blade conf]# cp /usr/share/magic.mime magic
[root@blade conf]# apachectl graceful
Note: you will see that I have gracefully restarted apache to ensure it has taken affect.
Regarding serkanyersen's example : It is advisable to change the regular expression to something more precise like
preg_match("|\.([a-z0-9]{2,4})$|i", $filename, $m);
This makes sure that only the last few characters are taken. The original expression would not work if the filename is a relative path.
Since I enabled the mime_magic extension on my IIS, I also got the error message "invalid magic file, disabled" in my phpinfo. After I add these lines to my php.ini, the message disappeared and it works great!
mime_magic.debug = Off
mime_magic.magicfile ="D:\PHP5\extras\magic.mime"
mime_magic.debug is by default off but without this line it fails. I'm using PHP 5.2.5.
For me mime_content_type didn't work in Linux before I added
mime_magic.magicfile = "/usr/share/magic.mime"
to php.ini (remember to find the correct path to mime.magic)
<?PHP
function qmimetype($file) {
$ext=array_pop(explode('.',$file));
foreach(file('/usr/local/etc/apache22/mime.types') as $line)
if(preg_match('/^([^#]\S+)\s+.*'.$ext.'.*$/',$line,$m))
return $m[1];
return 'application/octet-stream';
}
?>
Not perfect, but works good enough for me ;)
The correct little correction:
exec will return the mime with a newline at the end, the trim() should be called with the result of exec, not the other way around.
<?php
if ( ! function_exists ( 'mime_content_type ' ) )
{
function mime_content_type ( $f )
{
return trim ( exec ('file -bi ' . escapeshellarg ( $f ) ) ) ;
}
}
?>
if you use a transparent 'spacer' GIF i've found it needs to be a around 25x25 for it to register as 'image/gif'. otherwise it's read in as 'text/plain'.
Completing <some dude AT somewhere DOT com> comment:
0 string < ? php application/x-httpd-php
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).
I added these two lines to my magic.mime file:
0 string \<?php application/x-httpd-php
0 string \<?xml text/xml
The first one may not work if "<?php" is not at the very beginning of your file, e.g., if some HTML preceeds the first bit of PHP code. The second one should work because "<?xml" *should* be the first thing in every XML file.
The function mime_content_type only worked for me on Microsoft Windows after I added the directive "mime_magic.debug" to my php.ini with the value of "On". The default value appears to be "Off". Exampe:
[mime_magic]
mime_magic.debug = On
mime_magic.magicfile = "c:\php\extras\magic.mime"
