    copied!<p>i'm reading a file from php from Alfresco and then outputting it to the browser. The only ptoblem is the mimetype or the extension of the file. This is the code i'm using:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php ob_start(); //require_once("libs/FirePHPCore/fb.php"); require_once("libs/AlfrescoConnect.php"); $nomeFile = rawurldecode($_GET['nomeFile']); $urlDownload = $_GET['urlDownload']; $fileDownloadUrl = AlfrescoConnect::$serverPath. $urlDownload . "&amp;attach=true&amp;alf_ticket=".AlfrescoConnect::getTiket(); fb($fileDownloadUrl); $cnt = file_get_contents($fileDownloadUrl); header("Content-type: Application/octet-stream"); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate'); header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' .$nomeFile); echo($cnt); exit(); echo("Impossibile trovare il file"); </code></pre> <p>I receive the name of the file from the get becausa i don't know how to get the name from alfresco, but i have to guess the mimetype somehow. if i "echo" $cnt in the firsat caracters there are references to the fact that it is a PDF (for example on screen i see "%PDF-1.3 %âãÏÓ 2 0 obj &lt;&lt; /Length 3 0 R /Filter /CCITTFaxDecode /DecodeParms &lt;&lt; /K 0 /Columns 2480 /Rows 3508 >> /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2480 /Height 3508 /BitsPerComponent 1 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray >> stream" so there must be a way to get the mime_tipe from it with a function.</p> <p>Any help is apprecieted!</p> <p>Edit. If anyone is intereste here is a class that you can use to get the extension from the mime-type. <a href="http://www.ustrem.org/en/articles/mime-type-by-extension-en/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ustrem.org/en/articles/mime-type-by-extension-en/</a></p>
