Another interresting feature of finfo_file on Windows.
This function can return empty string instead of FALSE for some file types (ppt for example). Therefore to be sure do a triple check of output result and provide default type just in case. Here is a sample code:
$ftype = 'application/octet-stream';
$finfo = @finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME);
if ($finfo !== FALSE) {
$fres = @finfo_file($finfo, $file);
if ( ($fres !== FALSE)
&& is_string($fres)
&& (strlen($fres)>0)) {
$ftype = $fres;
}
@finfo_close($finfo);
}
