workaround for disabled PHP fileinfo extension?
Development and Programming
Hello,
So I just updated to EE 2.10.1 and now I just found out that my hosting company cannot enable the Fileinfo PHP extension unless I move up to a virtual private server (too expensive). Is there some code I can use in the MimeType.php to change the finfo_open() function on line 117 so that EE will still function properly?
thanks,
Adam
So the offending code in the MimeType.php is the following function:
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
if ($finfo !== FALSE)
{
$fres = @finfo_file($finfo, $path);
if ( ($fres !== FALSE)
&& is_string($fres)
&& (strlen($fres)>0))
{
$mime = $fres;
}
@finfo_close($finfo);
}so what if I were to setup a static function to return the mime type without using the fileinfo that my stupid host has disabled:
Sample code to start with:
private static function get_mime_type($path) {
$mime_types = array(
'txt' => 'text/plain',
'htm' => 'text/html',
'html' => 'text/html',
'php' => 'text/html',
'css' => 'text/css',
'js' => 'application/javascript',
'json' => 'application/json',
'xml' => 'application/xml',
'swf' => 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
'flv' => 'video/x-flv',
// images
'png' => 'image/png',
'jpe' => 'image/jpeg',
'jpeg' => 'image/jpeg',
'jpg' => 'image/jpeg',
'gif' => 'image/gif',
'bmp' => 'image/bmp',
'ico' => 'image/vnd.microsoft.icon',
'tiff' => 'image/tiff',
'tif' => 'image/tiff',
'svg' => 'image/svg+xml',
'svgz' => 'image/svg+xml',
// archives
'zip' => 'application/zip',
'rar' => 'application/x-rar-compressed',
'exe' => 'application/x-msdownload',
'msi' => 'application/x-msdownload',
'cab' => 'application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed',
// audio/video
'mp3' => 'audio/mpeg',
'qt' => 'video/quicktime',
'mov' => 'video/quicktime',
// adobe
'pdf' => 'application/pdf',
'psd' => 'image/vnd.adobe.photoshop',
'ai' => 'application/postscript',
'eps' => 'application/postscript',
'ps' => 'application/postscript',
// ms office
'doc' => 'application/msword',
'rtf' => 'application/rtf',
'xls' => 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'ppt' => 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
// open office
'odt' => 'application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text',
'ods' => 'application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet',
);
$ext = strtolower(array_pop(explode('.',$path)));
if (array_key_exists($ext, $mime_types)) {
return $mime_types[$ext];
}
elseif (function_exists('finfo_open')) {
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
$fres = @finfo_file($finfo, $path);
finfo_close($finfo);
return $mime;
}
else {
return 'application/octet-stream';
}
}Anyone want to help me with this challenge?
