MvcCore extension to get:

- Mimetype(s) strings array from file extension string
- Extension(s) strings array from file mimetype string

This extension doesn't use PHP `mime_content_type()` function.
To recognize which mimetype has uploaded file by magic bytes does form control (`input:file`) validator itself using PHP `fionfo` extension.
This extension has only list of mimetypes and extensions to properly decide, which file extension could be finally stored on server HDD after magic bytes recognition.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require mvccore/ext-tool-mimetype-extension
```

Mimetypes And Extensions Sources
--------------------------------

[](#mimetypes-and-extensions-sources)

Database of all mimetypes and extensions is loaded by Node.JS project [`jshttp/mime-db`](https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db) from 4 sources:

- [IANA](http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml) ()
- [APACHE](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types) ()
- [NGINX](http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/raw-file/default/conf/mime.types) ()
- custom definitions in `./custom-mimes.json`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use \MvcCore\Ext\Tools;

$mimeTypes = Tools\MimeTypesExtensions::GetMimeTypesByExtension('dmg');
// ['application/x-apple-diskimage', 'application/octet-stream']
var_dump($mimeTypes);

$mimeTypes = Tools\MimeTypesExtensions::GetMimeTypesByExtension('madness');
// NULL - means no data for given extension
var_dump($mimeTypes);

$extensions = Tools\MimeTypesExtensions::GetExtensionsByMimeType('application/msword');
// ['doc','dot'] - means mimetype `application/msword` could have two different extensions
var_dump($extensions);

$extensions = Tools\MimeTypesExtensions::GetExtensionsByMimeType('video/bmpeg');
// [''] - means file type is defined as file always without any extension
var_dump($extensions);

$extensions = Tools\MimeTypesExtensions::GetExtensionsByMimeType('something/crazy');
// NULL - means no data for given mimetype
var_dump($extensions);
```
