MimeTypeGuesser

class MimeTypeGuesser implements MimeTypeGuesserInterface

A singleton mime type guesser.

By default, all mime type guessers provided by the framework are installed (if available on the current OS/PHP setup).

You can register custom guessers by calling the register() method on the singleton instance. Custom guessers are always called before any default ones.

$guesser = MimeTypeGuesser::getInstance();
$guesser->register(new MyCustomMimeTypeGuesser());

If you want to change the order of the default guessers, just re-register your preferred one as a custom one. The last registered guesser is preferred over previously registered ones.

Re-registering a built-in guesser also allows you to configure it:

$guesser = MimeTypeGuesser::getInstance();
$guesser->register(new FileinfoMimeTypeGuesser('/path/to/magic/file'));

Methods

static MimeTypeGuesser getInstance()

Returns the singleton instance.

static reset()

Resets the singleton instance.

register(MimeTypeGuesserInterface $guesser)

Registers a new mime type guesser.

string guess(string $path)

Tries to guess the mime type of the given file.

Details

static MimeTypeGuesser getInstance()

Returns the singleton instance.

Return Value

MimeTypeGuesser

static reset()

Resets the singleton instance.

register(MimeTypeGuesserInterface $guesser)

Registers a new mime type guesser.

When guessing, this guesser is preferred over previously registered ones.

Parameters

MimeTypeGuesserInterface $guesser

string guess(string $path)

Tries to guess the mime type of the given file.

The file is passed to each registered mime type guesser in reverse order of their registration (last registered is queried first). Once a guesser returns a value that is not NULL, this method terminates and returns the value.

Parameters

string $path The path to the file

Return Value

string The mime type or NULL, if none could be guessed
