How to enable php_fileinfo extension in PHP?
Solution 1
create own php.ini
file in root folder of your directory.
example if you are making changes on a server then it should be inside the public.html folder.
create file name php.ini it will override the settings. just add in the file
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
Solution 2
If you are using WHM, go to Easy Apache, search fileinfo (In the search field), and enable it ( I found for php5.5
, php5.6
and php.7.0
.
And click on "Review" left tab.
Then click on provision, and done. It works for me ( I spend 3 hours trying install/enable fileinfo)
Solution 3
Go to WHM and search Easy Apache install the mentioned Profile on the WHM it resolves the issue.
Solution 4
If you have cpanel just go to
Select PHP Version
and search for the extension
fileinfo
check it and you're good to go.

My Laravel app can't validate uploaded images. It returns this error message:
Unable to guess the mime type as no guessers are available (Did you enable the php_fileinfo extension?)
I know enabling php_fileinfo.dll/php_fileinfo.so at php.ini fixes it. But I don't have access to my remote server's php.ini file.
So I thought is there any other way to enable it? And how? Maybe I can use PHP's
ini_set()
methods? I tried using it like:ini_set('extension', 'php_fileinfo.so');
But it doesn't work.
I also read you can override php.ini settings using .htaccess files. But how?
As Laravel's default, my .htaccess file is:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> <IfModule mod_negotiation.c> Options -MultiViews </IfModule> RewriteEngine On # Redirect Trailing Slashes... RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301] # Handle Front Controller... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] </IfModule>
How should you put such additionals in there?
