A PHP library providing a generic MIME type detection interface with a finfo-based implementation and extension fallback. It is the MIME detection component used by the Flysystem file storage abstraction.
Use cases
- detect the mime type of a file in php
- get mime type from file contents
- look up mime types by file extension
- validate uploaded file types in php
- determine content type for http responses
When to choose
- you need reliable MIME detection in a PHP project
- you use Flysystem and need its MIME detection dependency
- you want to detect types from contents with extension fallback
When to avoid
- you need deep file format inspection beyond MIME types
- you are not working in PHP
