Using the PHP Fileinfo extension
25 February 2009 | Posted by Jeffrey Barke | 4 comments
In my last post, I described how to install the Fileinfo PECL module on a Media Temple (dv) server, but I didn't really talk about what it does, why one might want to install it and how to use it.
The methods/functions in the Fileinfo PHP extension "try to guess the content type and encoding of a file by looking for certain magic byte sequences at specific positions within the file. While this is not a bullet proof approach, the heuristics used do a very good job."1 (Note that this module replaces the Mimetype module.)

Note—HMGoogleOverlay is an undocumented method of the HeatMapAPI. The documentation here is unofficial and unauthorized, and it simply represents my best guess as to what HMGoogleOverlay is.
class HMGoogleOverlay
A HMGoogleOverlay augments the map with a density map image. It implements the GOverlay interface and thus is added to the map using the GMap2.addOverlay() method.
Constructor
| Constructor | Description |
|---|---|
HMGoogleOverlay(url) |
Creates a GOverlay. The url parameter is the URL (string) of the density map and is generated via the GEOHeatmap.GetURL() |
Note—HMGoogleOverlay does not have any public methods. It does not support either show() or hide().
