OK, this makes sense then. If I set the following in php.ini:

mime_magic.magicfile = "/usr/local/apache/conf/magic"

everything appears fine. If I also set that directive to a
non-existent file, I don't get the Warning either. However, if I set
it to my system's magicfile, /usr/share/magic, I get the warnings.

With your clarification this makes sense, however maybe this is a
documentation issue. While
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mime-magic.php says this extension is
derived from Apache mod_mime_magic, the Installation and Runtime
Configuration sections are misleading, in my opinion.

In Installation:

"The extension needs a copy of the magic.mime as distributed with the
file command. This file also part of most recent Linux distributions
and usually stored in the /usr/share/misc directory."

And in Runtime Configuration the default value
"/usr/share/misc/magic.mime" seems that it would never be a correct
value.

Oddly enough, the default /usr/share/misc/magic.mime file doesn't exist
on my system, and without the mime_magic.magicfile directive set, I
still receive the Warnings. I mention this as odd because when setting
the directive explicitly to a non-existent file I don't get any
warnings.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification,

Hans

mime magic extension only supports simplified magic files that come
with Apache distribution for now, as most part of its code is taken
from mod_mime_magic.

Hopefully I'm not missing something obvious. After downloading PHP
4.3.1 to a RedHat 6.2 box, I configured and compiled like so for use as
a CLI bin:

./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/psh --disable-cgi
--disable-ipv6 --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
--with-zlib --enable-bcmath
--with-bz2 --enable-dio
--enable-ftp --enable-mime-magic
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-ncurses
--enable-pcntl --with-readline
--enable-shmop --enable-sockets
--enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem
--enable-sysvshm

Everything happily compiles and installs, but when finally running the
binary as /usr/local/psh/bin/php -v the following is spewed out:

HTTP/1.0 0 X
Content-type: text/html

PHP Warning: mime_magic: (line 3859) offset `&0 string >\0 %s '

PHP 4.3.1 (cli) (built: Feb 17 2003 22:13:02)

The same type of output occurs whether I use php -h or just plain php
with no arguments. Looking at /usr/share/magic I've excerpted the
lines as noted:

3848 # HP Printer Job Language
3849 0 string \033%-12345X <email protected> HP Printer Job Language data
3850 # HP Printer Job Language
3851 # The header found on Win95 HP plot files is the "Silliest Thing
possible"
3852 # (TM)
3853 # Every driver puts the language at some random position, with
random case
3854 # (LANGUAGE and Language)
3855 # For example the LaserJet 5L driver puts the "PJL ENTER LANGUAGE"
in line 10
3856 # From: Uwe Bonnes <bon <email protected>>
3857 #
3858 0 string \033%-12345X <email protected> HP Printer Job Language data
3859 >&0 string >\0 %s
3860 >>&0 string >\0 %s
3861 >>>&0 string >\0 %s 3862 >>>>&0 string >\0 %s
3863 #>15 string \ ENTER\ LANGUAGE\ =
3864 #>31 string PostScript PostScript

If I then make distclean and ./configure just as above, but without
--enable-mime-magic everything looks as it should. Should CLI and
--enable-mime-magic not be used together? Hopefully this all makes
sense to someone and this message comes out readable.

Thanks,

Hans
