Description:
------------
Fileinfo module isn't works. It generates exception.

I've checked $finfo object exactly before $finfo->file() call and get_classname() correctly returns "finfo" and 0 get_class_methods() returns "[0] => finfo [1] => set_flags [2] => file [3] => buffer".

BTW: There is not method "close"!

I'm using php 5.2.6 (!) and pecl package which comes with it.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$filename='/webserver/sites/test/uploads/test.jpg';
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, '/webserver/php/magic');
if (!$finfo) die("Can't open mime database");
$res = $finfo->file($filename);
print($res);

Expected result:
----------------
image/jpeg

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: finfo::file() [finfo.file]: The invalid fileinfo object.

I can reproduce this also on Centos 5.2 with PHP 5.2.11 and Apache/2.2.3 (fileinfo installed within PECL).

If I set the environment (like manual says):
putenv('MAGIC=/usr/share/file/magic');
=> it's not taken into consideration

If I set as 2nd parameter the mime file like:
// file on disk: /etc/httpd/magic.mime
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, '/etc/httpd/magic');
=> it validates the creation of the object but than I get a lot of errors like:
"Warning: finfo::file() [finfo.file]: The invalid fileinfo object. in /www/projects/andrei/fileinfo/fileinfo.php on line 38 1.xlsx"


So my only solution was to leave default PHP configuration and copy my magic file into: 
/usr/share/misc/magic.mime


P.S. We cannot move to PHP 5.3 since we have an old(<2002) and large application and code was not refactored (yet! - hopefully).

I suppose this could be closed.
