Description:
------------
Hello,

as of PHP 5.3.0 the function mime_content_type() seems part of the fileinfo extension.

But in the manual it's not listed as a function of this extension. Instead it's listed as a function for the mime_magic/mimeinfo extension (available for all PHP5).

I came across this issue, because I still have a mime_magic extension in PHP 5.3.0. And then I have tried to load the fileinfo extension, which was not possible because mime_content_type() was already defined.

(also there seems no configure switch for fileinfo, to disable this compatibility function.)

Regards,
Carsten

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.
