Description:
------------
I use $_FILES['file']['type'] to check the type of a MICROSOFT WORD file while editing it by Microsoft word. 

$_FILES['file']['type'] return the type : application/octet-stream

However, when I finish editing and close the Microsoft Word application. 

$_FILES['file']['type'] can now return the correct type: application/msword

I am now sure whether this is a feature or bug.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$_FILES['file']['type'];

echo "File type :".$_FILES['file']['type'];

Expected result:
----------------
File type :application/msword 


Actual result:
--------------
File type :application/octet-stream

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
