For Unix (tested on Gentoo, php 5.2.5)



You can also use 

/usr/local/php5/bin/pecl install fileinfo



path to the pecl binary may depend on your system.



When installation is done, to autoload the module, in php.ini :

extension=fileinfo.so



Note : check your extension dir if it fails.



You can check if the extension is correctly loaded with php -m

When installing fileinfo on php5.2 on ubuntu and having a problem with phpize,



you must also install the php5-dev package..

apt-get install php5-dev 



Then verify if 'phpize' is in your PATH

on opensuse 10.2 systems you'll need the file-devel package.

For Kubuntu systems and probably most other Linuxes, after installing libmime-devel, I could successfully install the PECL Fileinfo package.



$ sudo apt-get install libmagic-dev 



$ sudo pecl install Fileinfo
