Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.mime-content-type
---
The return value is documented as "Returns the content type in MIME format, like text/plain or application/octet-stream." However, mime_content_type returns false on failure, as is evident from this test: https://3v4l.org/epEUd

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(mime_content_type('foo'));

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.

Thanks for your quick response! An "Errors/Exceptions" section stating that "Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted." should also be added. Similar to http://www.php.net/function.filemtime.php

We also note that a warning is emitted on failure.
