mate, you are a life saver – works a treat! great for anyone on shared hosting with limited ability to change configuration.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi!

There are some commonly misdetected types when using fileinfo. These are mostly MS Office ones. Example: docx is basically a ZIP file, so fileinfo will always fail detecting. I completed the list you’re using, and have another one, that has to be used before calling fileinfo to avoid the failure.

Drop me an email, and I’ll send you my list.
