Fileinfo help
News and General
Does anyone have a bare-bones PHP script that tests whether fileinfo is installed on a server and actually works? And returns full technical errors if it fails?
PHP.info on my host says fileinfo is enabled.
A fresh install of EE 3.5.9 is erroring out saying fileinfo is not enabled.
My web host says fileinfo is enabled by default so the problem must be the software.
I have tried using scripts found on the web to do something basic (like output mime type) and I can’t get any information back. I also can’t get any errors to report.
I’m trying to figure out something independent of EE that will verify if fileinfo is or is not installed, enabled, and working correctly. Thanks!
In a new standalone PHP file put:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
var_dump(function_exists('finfo_open'));Do you get true?
Thanks - we were able to determine it was a server issue and it’s fixed now.
Glad you found it, hope that code helped you nail it down!
