Usage 2. Installation 3. Supported formats Usage ===== [](#usage) File Type detection ------------------- [](#file-type-detection) - Detection by file name: `Detector::detectByFilename(...filename...): array|boolean` - Detection by file content or stream content: `Detector::detectByContent(...filename/resource...): array|boolean` Both functions will return an `array` with following elements in case of success: - `[0]` - Type of file (`Detector::AUDIO` and so on) - `[1]` - Format of file (`Detector::MP3` and so on) - `[2]` - Mime type of file (`'audio/mpeg'` for example) In case of failure it will return `false`. Example: ``` $type = Dok123\FileTypeDetector\Detector::detectByFilename($filename); // or $type = Dok123\FileTypeDetector\Detector::detectByContent('file-without-extension'); // or $type = Dok123\FileTypeDetector\Detector::detectByContent(fopen('http://somedomain/somepath', 'r')); ``` Mimetype generation ------------------- [](#mimetype-generation) To get correct mimetype for file only there is `getMimeType($file)` function. ``` $mime = Dok123\FileTypeDetector\Detector::getMimeType($file); // or $mime = Dok123\FileTypeDetector\Detector::getMimeType(fopen('somefile', 'r')); ``` Installation ============ [](#installation) Install package via composer: ``` composer require 123dok/file-type-detector ``` Supported formats ================= [](#supported-formats) Available to use types and their formats.
