PHP Fileinfo

[sjaakfaal]

Hello,

I am running DA with PHP 5.2.17 on CentOS 5.5. One of my customers (with Joomla!) needs "fileinfo".

This is wat i did so fare:

1. sudo pecl install fileinfo
2. add extension=fileinfo.so to php.ini
3. service httpd restart

When i do "php -m" i see:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './fileinfo.so' - ./fileinfo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Any help is appreciated!

Hello,

Please show the results for

 egrep "^extension_dir|^extension" /full/path/to/your/php.ini

and

 grep "^extension_dir" /full/path/to/your/php.ini | cut -d\= -f2 | cut -d\" -f2 | awk '{system("stat "$1"fileinfo.so")}'

Replace /full/path/to/your/php.ini with valid and actual data in both commands.

First:

extension_dir = "./"
extension=fileinfo.so

Second:

stat: cannot stat `./fileinfo.so': No such file or directory

find / -name 'fileinfo.so'

will show you the full patch to fileinfo.so
then move this file (mv) to your extention dir and restart httpd.

Update php.ini to

extension_dir = "/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/"

and move fileinfo.so to the directory /usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/
