[SOLVED] php-5.0.5-r5 "--with-mime-magic"?

Message

Leprechaun · Post by **Leprechaun** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 4:22 am

I recently upgraded to dev-lang/php-5.0.5-r5, the version currently in "stable." I've been going through my site, reworking code to fit the new version. I've been getting an error that the mime_content_type function is undefined. After looking at the PHP Mimetype page (http://us2.php.net/mime_magic), I found that php >= 4.3.2 needs to be compiled with the "--with-mime-magic" option in order to define this function. At least, that's how I read it.

Here is an emerge -pv of php:

Code: Select all

oliver backups # emerge -pv dev-lang/php

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I've looked through the USE flags using equery, but nothing mentions mime. Here is the result of phpinfo():

As you can see, the configure options contain neither the proper "--with-mime-magic" option nor the outdated "--enable-mime-magic" function. This leads me to believe that I have configured something incorrectly. Has anyone else run across this problem? Thanks in advance for any advice.

It just means the ebuild doesn't handle that configure option.

You could file a request on bugs.gentoo.org, and in the meantime set EXTRA_ECONF="--with-mime-magic" in your environment or in /etc/portage/bashrc. However I doubt Gentoo will add support for it; as the man page says mime_magic is deprecated.

Mime_magic is deprecated, exactly, so we dropped it from the supported extensions, please emerge the dev-php5/pecl-fileinfo extension wich is still maintained and supported and does substitute the Mime_magic one.

Thanks, that did it. I knew I was missing something.

Emerged it, but it won't help. Still get the undefined function error. Installed php with the following flags:

Do I need some other flag to enable?

No you don't need it in your useflags. fileinfo is an external extension to php, so you don't need to recompile php. But what I miss is a valid mime.magic file, that is still needed. The current configuration doens't detects a valid and simple xml file ! So I assume the used mime.magic (if any) is not quite usefull.

ikrabbe · Post by **ikrabbe** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:22 pm

Acutally I reviewed the file usage and found out that fileinfo correctly uses /usr/share/misc/file/mime.magic.mgc, which correctly detects "XML document text" but returns "" as mime type string. Something seems to be broken in mime.magic.mgc.

Any hints how this can be fixed ?

Removing this feature from the ebuild breaks the definition of deprecated. Deprecated means a function is supported but discouraged from use because it will disappear in the future, but has not disappeared yet. Removing support for a deprecated function before upstream support is removed breaks applications.

I agree. Perhaps a use flag deprecated (for all deprecated) or deprecated_ prefix for use flags of deprecated features.
