Getting Apache content types

[Joshua Beall]

Hi All,

Is there a way in PHP to know what all the content-types that Apache knows
about are? Basically, what I want to be able to do is look at an extension,
and then know what content-type Apache would send by default it that file
was requested via HTTP.

Is there a way to do this?

Maybe this?
http://www.php.net/mime_content_type

This appears to get it from a file, called "magic.mime"

This might be what I wind up doing, but I was hoping to get something that
had a 1-to-1 correspondence with how Apache was setup. Unless Apache also
uses magic.mime?

Oops ...

It appears that Apache falls back on magic.mime if it can't determine
the file type with the mod_mime module.

I'm not sure what Apache uses, but there's a PHP function 'mime_content_type'
which MAY take infos from the same source. Probably this depends on system
platform on which Apache works.
