How to get file content type in PHP?

I use PHP to send email with attachment. An attachment can be any of several file types (pdf, txt, doc, swf, etc.).

First, the script receives the file using "file_get_contents".

Later the script echoed in the header:

Content-Type: <?php echo $the_content_type; ?>; name="<?php echo $the_file_name; ?>"

How to set the correct value for $ the_content_type ?

I use this function, which includes several backups, to compensate for older versions of PHP or simply poor results:

function getFileMimeType($file) {
    if (function_exists('finfo_file')) {
        $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
        $type = finfo_file($finfo, $file);
        finfo_close($finfo);
    } else {
        require_once 'upgradephp/ext/mime.php';
        $type = mime_content_type($file);
    }

    if (!$type || in_array($type, array('application/octet-stream', 'text/plain'))) {
        $secondOpinion = exec('file -b --mime-type ' . escapeshellarg($file), $foo, $returnCode);
        if ($returnCode === 0 && $secondOpinion) {
            $type = $secondOpinion;
        }
    }

    if (!$type || in_array($type, array('application/octet-stream', 'text/plain'))) {
        require_once 'upgradephp/ext/mime.php';
        $exifImageType = exif_imagetype($file);
        if ($exifImageType !== false) {
            $type = image_type_to_mime_type($exifImageType);
        }
    }

    return $type;
}

    // check if the file exist before
    if(is_file($file_link)) {

    // You can now use it here.

finfo_open, PHP5 PECL:

$mimepath='/usr/share/magic'; // may differ depending on your machine
// try /usr/share/file/magic if it doesn't work
$mime = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME,$mimepath);
if ($mime===FALSE) {
 throw new Exception('Unable to open finfo');
}
$filetype = finfo_file($mime,$tmpFileName);
finfo_close($mime);

mime_ content_ type:

$filetype=mime_content_type($tmpFileName);
