As the fileinfo is moved from PECL to PHP. What is the best way to install it through WHM or putty.?
I tried following command:
pecl install fileinfo
<
This extension is enabled by default as of PHP 5.3.0. Before this time, fileinfo was a PECL extension but is no longer maintained there. However, versions prior to 5.3+ may use the » discontinued PECL extension.
Reference:

ERROR: `phpize' failed
This error is displayed because you don't have php-devel
package installed
I encountered this, and needed to install php-fileinfo for WHM on a VPS Dedicated server. This https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/how-to-install-a-php-extension-using-easyapache-4/ was very helpful. I figured id post this for the next guy.
For me this is working
#yum install rh-php70-php-devel
https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-sclo-rh/rh-php70-php-devel-7.0.10-2.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
Are you install php-devel?
phpize execute need's php-devel package. if you are on centos run the following code
yum install php-devel
