Description:
------------
On this page http://php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-file.php the example uses the wrong constant.

The constant is FILEINFO_MIME, not FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE.

Theres a difference between FILEINFO_MIME and FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE:

* FILEINFO_MIME returns the mimetype
* FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE returns the type and mime encoding as per RFC 2045

I think its intended usage of FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE, but I'll assign it to the original author of the example to clarify this.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Kalle is right.
