mime_utils

A helper class for working with MIME types. Should be particularly useful for validating file uploads.

Based on the MIME type list found here.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require imonroe/mime_utils

Usage

  $allowed_mimes = new MimeUtils;
  // You can allow all the available types:
  $allowed_mimes->allow_all();
  
  // or you can allow just certain subtypes:
  $allowed_mimes->allow('image');
  $allowed_mimes->allow('video');
  
  // text types include htm, html, css
  $allowed_mimes->allow('text');
  $allowed_mimes->allow('audio');
  
  // The application types allow potentially problematic types, e.g., pdf, swf, js, class
  // enable it only if necessary.
  $allowed_mimes->allow('application');
  $allowed_mimes->allow('ms-office');
  $allowed_mimes->allow('open-office');
  $allowed_mimes->allow('wordperfect');
  $allowed_mimes->allow('iwork');
  
  // You can get the allowed extenstions as a string:
  $mime_string = 'mimes:' . $allowed_mimes->get_extensions('string');
  // or as an array: 
  $mime_string = 'mimes:' . $allowed_mimes->get_extensions('array');
  // or as JSON:
  $mime_string = 'mimes:' . $allowed_mimes->get_extensions('json');

  // You can also get the types in the same way, in the same formats:
  $mime_string = 'mimes:' . $allowed_mimes->get_types('string');
  // or 
  $mime_string = 'mimes:' . $allowed_mimes->get_types('array');
  // or 
  $mime_string = 'mimes:' . $allowed_mimes->get_types('json');
