Description:
------------
The documentation for the mime-magic extension

http://www.php.net/manual/en/mime-magic.installation.php

says I can "compile PHP with the configure switch --with-mime-magic to get support for mime-type functions" but php 5.3.0alpha3 and 5.3.0beta1 say this is an unknown configure option:

Notice: Following unknown configure options were used:

--with-mime-magic

Check './configure --help' for available options

And it's not listed in ./configure --help.

php 5.3.0alpha1 still accepted the option. I did not test 5.3.0alpha2.

I see in the NEWS file that the fileinfo extension was brought into php as of 5.3.0alpha1 and is intended as a replacement for mime-magic.


Hoping I've got this all right, and if it's intended that mime-magic disappear with 5.3.0, then this ticket is a request to update the mime-magic documentation to indicate this and that fileinfo is its replacement.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
