Description:
------------
Hi..

When using the FILEINFO_MIME in ->file() I get different result then using it in the constructor. See example

Reproduce code:
---------------
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME);
echo $finfo->file($filename);

$finfo2 = new finfo();
echo $finfo2->file($filename, FILEINFO_MIME);



Expected result:
----------------
With: $filename = '..'
application/x-not-regular-file
application/x-not-regular-file

with: $filename = 'my .avi movie'
video/x-msvideo
video/x-msvideo


Actual result:
--------------
With: $filename = '..'
application/x-not-regular-file
application/x-not-regular-file

with: $filename = 'my .avi movie'
video/x-msvideo
RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 320 x 240, ~15 fps, video: Motion JPEG, audio: uncompressed PCM (mono, 11024 Hz)

finfo->buffer() appears to have the same bug.

i can confirm that using Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) DAV/2 
PHP/5.2.0-8+etch3 and this module, i'm not able to get any 
mimetype, even by putting FILEINFO_MIME in the 
constructor, but only textual description...

Two problems here, one reason : the magic file is loaded 
on finfo creation, so if you give FILEINFO_MIME, il will 
load the magic.mime file, and if you give anything else, 
il will load the magic.mgc file (or something like 
that)... that is not really a bug, just a documentation 
problem.

For me the solution was copying all magic files from 
linux "file" command to /etc/ : 

ln -s /usr/share/file/magic* /etc/

Not reproducible with the currently supported PHP versions. Test added.

Thanks.
