Correct way to detect mime type in php

问题:

What is the best and reliable way to detect mime type of a file in php? The following code which is suggested by many people failed to detect docx file mime type:

 $finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
 $mime = $finfo->file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']); 
 echo $mime; exit;  

This is printing application/zip but it is supposed to be

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

Based on this I've ported it to PHP:

function getMicrosoftOfficeMimeInfo($file) {
    $fileInfo = array(
        'word/' => array(
            'type'      => 'Microsoft Word 2007+',
            'mime'      => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document',
            'extension' => 'docx'
        ),
        'ppt/' => array(
            'type'      => 'Microsoft PowerPoint 2007+',
            'mime'      => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation',
            'extension' => 'pptx'
        ),
        'xl/' => array(
            'type'      => 'Microsoft Excel 2007+',
            'mime'      => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
            'extension' => 'xlsx'
        )
    );

    $pkEscapeSequence = "PK\x03\x04";

    $file = new BinaryFile($file);
    if ($file->bytesAre($pkEscapeSequence, 0x00)) {
        if ($file->bytesAre('[Content_Types].xml', 0x1E)) {
            if ($file->search($pkEscapeSequence, null, 2000)) {
                if ($file->search($pkEscapeSequence, null, 1000)) {
                    $offset = $file->tell() + 26;
                    foreach ($fileInfo as $searchWord => $info) {
                        $file->seek($offset);
                        if ($file->bytesAre($searchWord)) {
                            return $fileInfo[$searchWord];
                        }
                    }
                    return array(
                        'type'      => 'Microsoft OOXML',
                        'mime'      => null,
                        'extension' => null
                    );
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return false;
}

        if ($this->handle === false) {
            throw new BinaryFile_Exception('Cannot open file');
        }
    }

    public function __destruct() {
        fclose($this->handle);
    }

    public function tell() {
        return ftell($this->handle);

                $offset += $this->tell();
            }
            return fseek($this->handle, $offset);
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }

    public function read($length) {
        return fread($this->handle, $length);
    }

    public function search($string, $offset = null, $maxLength = null, $seekMethod = null) {

        while ($read = $this->read($bufferSize)) {
            $bytesRead += strlen($read);
            $search = strpos($read, $string);

            if ($search !== false) {

Usage:

$info = getMicrosoftOfficeMimeInfo('hi.docx');
/*
    Array
    (
        [type] => Microsoft Word 2007+
        [mime] => application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
        [extension] => docx
    )
*/

$info = getMicrosoftOfficeMimeInfo('hi.xlsx');
/*
    Array
    (
        [type] => Microsoft Excel 2007+
        [mime] => application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
        [extension] => xlsx
    )
*/

$info = getMicrosoftOfficeMimeInfo('hi.pptx');
/*
    Array
    (
        [type] => Microsoft PowerPoint 2007+
        [mime] => application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
        [extension] => pptx
    )
*/

$info = getMicrosoftOfficeMimeInfo('hi.zip');
// bool(false)

Add to you mime types config (/etc/magic.mime;/etc/mime.types) mime types you need. Also you can take (google it) ready magic.types file and use mime_magic.magicfile option in php.ini
