File Type Detector

Files type detector based on file name extension or file content (binary content).

File Type detection

• Detection by file name: Detector::detectByFilename(...filename...): array|boolean
• Detection by file content or stream content: Detector::detectByContent(...filename/resource...): array|boolean

Both functions will return an array with following elements in case of success:

• [0] - Type of file (Detector::AUDIO and so on)
• [1] - Format of file (Detector::MP3 and so on)
• [2] - Mime type of file ('audio/mpeg' for example)

In case of failure it will return false.

Example:

$type = wapmorgan\FileTypeDetector\Detector::detectByFilename($filename);
// or
$type = wapmorgan\FileTypeDetector\Detector::detectByContent('file-without-extension');
// or
$type = wapmorgan\FileTypeDetector\Detector::detectByContent(fopen('http://somedomain/somepath', 'r'));

Mimetype resolving

To get correct mimetype for file only there is getMimeType($file) function.

$mime = wapmorgan\FileTypeDetector\Detector::getMimeType($file);
// or
$mime = wapmorgan\FileTypeDetector\Detector::getMimeType(fopen('somefile', 'r'));
