Hoa is a modular, extensible and structured set of PHP libraries.
Moreover, Hoa aims at being a bridge between industrial and research worlds.

This library allows to manipulate a MIME types database and get some related informations about streams.

Learn more.

With Composer, to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require hoa/mime:

$ composer require hoa/mime '~3.0'

For more installation procedures, please read the Source page.

Before running the test suites, the development dependencies must be installed:

$ composer install

Then, to run all the test suites:

$ vendor/bin/hoa test:run

For more information, please read the contributor guide.

As a quick overview, we will see how to get general and stream-related informations.

All we need is static methods Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime to get extensions from a type and Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension to get type from an extension:

print_r(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime('text/html'));

/**
 * Will output:
 *     Array
 *     (
 *         [0] => html
 *         [1] => htm
 *     )
 */

var_dump(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension('webm'));

/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(10) "video/webm"
 */

By default, Hoa\Mime\Mime uses the hoa://Library/Mime/Mime.types file as database. We can change this behavior by calling the Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute before any computations:

Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute('/etc/mime.types');

By instanciating the Hoa\Mime\Mime class with a stream, we are able to get some informations about the stream, such as its extension, others extensions, type, etc. Thus:

$type = new Hoa\Mime\Mime(new Hoa\File\Read('index.html'));

var_dump(
    $type->getExtension(),
    $type->getOtherExtensions(),
    $type->getMime(),
    $type->isExperimental()
);

/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(4) "html"
 *     array(1) {
 *       [0]=>
 *       string(3) "htm"
 *     }
 *     string(9) "text/html"
 *     bool(false)
 */

The hack book of Hoa\Mime contains detailed information about how to use this library and how it works.

To generate the documentation locally, execute the following commands:

$ composer require --dev hoa/devtools
$ vendor/bin/hoa devtools:documentation --open

More documentation can be found on the project's website: hoa-project.net.
