filetype() in php?

[paulsheff]

All I get is 'file' from the output rather than a mime type.

I've tried a few different options from php.net but get functions not found?

I want to use it in an opendir function to read files and their types already on the server, so I can't use $_FILES['type'].

Cheers

It's for uploaded podcasts from trusted sources. I think I'll write something to read the extension and do it that way. Cheers anyway
