If it works with the file command you could always use the suggestion
from the mime-content-type document page: [1]

function get_mime_content_type ( $f )
{
  return exec ( trim( 'file -bi ' . escapeshellarg ( $f ) ) ) ;
}


I guess the first question is, are you using PHP4 or PHP5, and is the
php code running on Windows or Linux?  I know you ran 'file' on a Linux
machine, but you seem to imply that the php code is not running on that
machine?
