Hoa is a modular, extensible and structured set of PHP libraries. Moreover, Hoa aims at being a bridge between industrial and research worlds.

Hoa\Mime

This library allows to manipulate a MIME types database and get some related informations about streams.

Installation

With Composer, to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require hoa/mime:

{
    "require": {
        "hoa/mime": "~3.0"
    }
}

Please, read the website to get more informations about how to install.

Quick usage

As a quick overview, we will see how to get general and stream-related informations.

General informations

All we need is static methods Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime to get extensions from a type and Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension to get type from an extension:

print_r(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime('text/html'));

/**
 * Will output:
 *     Array
 *     (
 *         [0] => html
 *         [1] => htm
 *     )
 */

var_dump(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension('webm'));

/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(10) "video/webm"
 */

By default, Hoa\Mime\Mime uses the hoa://Library/Mime/Mime.types file as database. We can change this behavior by calling the Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute before any computations:

Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute('/etc/mime.types');

Stream-related informations

By instanciating the Hoa\Mime\Mime class with a stream, we are able to get some informations about the stream, such as its extension, others extensions, type, etc. Thus:

$type = new Hoa\Mime\Mime(new Hoa\File\Read('index.html'));

var_dump(
    $type->getExtension(),
    $type->getOtherExtensions(),
    $type->getMime(),
    $type->isExperimental()
);

/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(4) "html"
 *     array(1) {
 *       [0]=>
 *       string(3) "htm"
 *     }
 *     string(9) "text/html"
 *     bool(false)
