How to get MIME-type of an image with file_get_contents in PHP

Question

I need to get the MIME type of an image, but I only have the body of the image which I\'ve got with file_get_contents. Is there a possibility to get the MIME type?<

Answer 1

Yes, you can get it like this.

$file_info = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
$mime_type = $file_info->buffer(file_get_contents($image_url));
echo $mime_type;
