Description

Getting different REAL MIME type from function finfo_file.

The issue maybe the different Operating Systems or due to Different PHP versions.

But, While debugging the issue, When I try to upload the XML on localhost I got the text/xml as a real MIME type and on live site its application/xml.

Below is the debugging steps:

File: /wp-includes/functions.php line 2346

// Validate files that didn't get validated during previous checks.
if ( $type && ! $real_mime && extension_loaded( 'fileinfo' ) ) {
	$finfo = finfo_open( FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE );
	$real_mime = finfo_file( $finfo, $file );
	finfo_close( $finfo );

	// @DEBUGGING...
	echo '<pre>';
	var_dump( FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE ) . '<br/>';
	var_dump( $finfo ) . '<br/>';
	var_dump( $file ) . '<br/>';
	var_dump( $real_mime ) . '<br/>';
	wp_die();

The output of the above code is below on LOCALHOST:

  • PHP: Version 7.2.4
  • System: Windows NT M 6.3 build 9600 (Windows 8.1 Professional Edition) i586
int(16)
resource(767) of type (Unknown)
string(46) "C:\Users\Yum\AppData\Local\Temp/wxr-LccAYF.tmp"
string(8) "text/xml"

But, It is different on the LIVE site.

  • PHP: Version 7.0.32-4+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
  • System: Linux ip-172-31-25-204 4.4.0-134-generic #160-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 14:58:00 UTC 2018 x86_64
int(16)
resource(747) of type (Unknown)
string(19) "/tmp/wxr-YNkiH5.tmp"
string(15) "application/xml"

Seems that maybe sticking to one mime type per extension might not be the greatest way to go about it.
