Can you please make sample.xml.gz and sample.mp3 available for download?

Thanks for the samples!

I can confirm the behavior.  Reporting the .xml.gz as
application/gzip is actually an improvement, since this mime type
is registered[1]. Reporting the .mp3 as application/x-font-gdos is
obviously wrong, and has been fixed[2] for file 5.38.

Please can this bug be reopened and checked again as I can recreate it using PHP 7.4.12:

$ php7.3 -v
PHP 7.3.24-3+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Oct 31 2020 16:59:59) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
$ php7.3 -r 'echo finfo_file(finfo_open(), __DIR__ . "/my_file.mp3", FILEINFO_MIME). "\n";'
audio/mpeg; charset=binary

$ php7.4 -v
PHP 7.4.12 (cli) (built: Oct 31 2020 17:04:09) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
$ php7.4 -r 'echo finfo_file(finfo_open(), __DIR__ . "/my_file.mp3", FILEINFO_MIME). "\n";'
application/x-font-gdos; charset=binary

An example file can be provided if needed.

Thanks.

Please provide the example file! :)

Thanks for the sample file!  I can confirm the reported behavior,
although the sample provided by xandros92 yields the desired
results for PHP 7.3 and 7.4.  This might be a different issue.
Re-opening for now, to keep track of the issue.

It makes no sense to keep this ticket open, since the changelog
already has entries that this issue has been fixed, and quite
obviously, this is yet a different issue.  Therefore I have
reported this as bug #80594.
