You can easily check mime type of an internet resource using this code :
<?php
function getUrlMimeType($url) {
$buffer = file_get_contents($url);
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
return $finfo->buffer($buffer);
}
?>
I'm using it to detect if an url given by a user is a HTML page (so I do some stuff with the HTML) or a file on Internet (so I show an icon accordingly to the mime type).
finfo_buffer
finfo::buffer
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL fileinfo >= 0.1.0)
finfo_buffer -- finfo::buffer — 返回一个字符串缓冲区的信息
说明
过程化风格
finfo_buffer(
finfo
string
int
?resource
): string|false
finfo
$finfo,string
$string,int
$flags = FILEINFO_NONE,?resource
$context = null): string|false
面向对象风格
public finfo::buffer(string
$string, int $flags = FILEINFO_NONE, ?resource $context = null): string|false本函数用来获取字符串中二进制数据的信息。
参数
-
finfo -
经 finfo_open() 返回的 finfo 实例。
-
string -
要检查的文件内容。
-
flags -
一个 Fileinfo 常量 或多个 Fileinfo 常量 进行逻辑或运算。
-
context -
返回值
返回 string 参数所指定内容的类型描述。
发生错误时返回 false 。
示例
示例 #1 finfo_buffer() 示例
<?php
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME);
echo $finfo->buffer($_POST["script"]) . "\n";
?>以上示例的输出类似于：
application/x-sh; charset=us-ascii

You should never rely on finfo::buffer to get the MimeType of a file, you must always save the file physically or temporariliy and use finfo_open to get MimeType. I tested it with an excell file, with buffer it says octet-stream that is not valid, with finfo_open it says ms-excell as correct.

Get only a webpage content type and forget the charset
<?php
$file = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME);
echo strstr($file->buffer(file_get_contents('http://example.com')),';',true)//Returns something similar to text/html
?>
