Class MimeClass

Description
Description | Methods (details)

This class inspired by Chris Jean's work, here: http://chrisjean.com/2009/02/14/generating-mime-type-in-php-is-not-magic/

It does some MIME trickery, inspired by the need to to deal with Openoffice and MS Office 2007 file formats -- which are often mis-interpreted by mime-magic, fileinfo, and the *nix `file` command.

In Drupal 6, we also make use of file_get_mimetype. See: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/file_get_mimetype/6 ... however this only provides a uni-directional lookup (ext->mime). While I don't have a specific use case for a mime->extension lookup, I think it's good to have in here.

Drupal 7 will have better mime handlers. See: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/file_default_mimetype_mapping/7
