Description:
------------
The finfo_file() method does not return the correct mime-type for .tga files.

Test script:
---------------
ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.77 Safari/537.36');

$src = fopen('http://people.math.sc.edu/Burkardt/data/tga/earth.tga', 'r');
$dest = fopen('image.tga', 'w');
stream_copy_to_stream($src, $dest);

print(finfo_file(finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE), 'image.tga'));
// => image/x-tgaimage/x-tga

Expected result:
----------------
"image/x-tga"

Actual result:
--------------
"image/x-tgaimage/x-tga"

I created a repository on github which tests this bug against PHP 7.2, 7.3 and 7.3RC1 inside docker containers: https://github.com/jdoubleu/php-bug-78183

The issue only affects PHP 7.2

I cannot reproduce this error, in addition, our use of the underlying API (magic_stream) doesn't seem to allow us to cause this, the only thing I can think of is that maybe the magic database is somehow corrupted, but this seems highly unlikely.

Running the script as it was is not possible from my location, and so probably the same is true for others.

I suggest you upload the image to a globally accessible location, and suggest you expand the test script to include buffer (string) and stream (resource) usages.

Ah, I still had this page open from yesterday, and saw your comment after I posted analysis.

I'll take another look ...

I have uploaded the images to Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/jdoubleu/php-bug-78183

Running the script in Travis CI also confirms this bug: https://travis-ci.com/jdoubleu/php-bug-78183/builds/116430262#L236

According to git the ext-fileinfo did not change between 7.2 and 7.3 (see https://github.com/php/php-src/compare/PHP-7.2/ext/fileinfo/fileinfo.c..PHP-7.3/).

Running the script under 7.1 returns "application/octet-stream". This might be related to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67516 (and others).

Libmagic was updated from version 531 (PHP7.2) to 533 (PHP7.3).

I found the cause for this issue:

It has something to do with the underlying libmagic (or file) library.

This commit (https://github.com/file/file/commit/bb421c437d406760fb9f70f49e2eb5c504528450#diff-5c8aa65000f916c2f4b5c29c808ea851) fixes the duplicate output for tga images.

It looks like this issue does not appear in version 5.32 or later anymore.
