Description:
------------
Hello,

It would be nice if the class SplFileInfo had the method
getMIMEType() : string|false
This method would return a string representing the MIME type (same result as mime_content_type ( resource|string $filename ) function), or false if the file doesn't exists or is not a file (I mean is a dir, a symlink, etc...)

Thanks
Romaric
PS : it is the first time I ask for a request, I hope I'm doing it in a proper way.
And thanks a lot too to all the PHP team for its wonderful work ! :)

not possible, that's the "fileinfo" extensions job and the large mimemagic database mustn't be mandatory for spl-functions

Yes, there would be a dependency issue.  SPL is always available,
while fileinfo may not.  How should the method behave in that
case?  Should it even be defined?  These details would need to be
figured out carefully, what demands an RFC.  Anybody who is
interested in that feature is welcome to pursue the RFC
process[1].  For the time being, I suspend this ticket.
