Finfo_file on uploaded file to determine mime-type

Question

Im trying to determine the mime-type of an uploaded file, i want to use fileinfo(), this is what ive been trying, it isnt working:

$uploadedfile = $_FILES[\'         


        

Answer 1

I know this is a bit old, but since you're using the $_FILES super global, can you use the type key of the file array (i.e. $_FILES['soup']['type']) rather than having the server check once the file is uploaded?
