Editing MIME types
Editing a MIME type
With MIME_Type, you can edit existing MIME types or create new ones from scratch. Just create a new instance of MIME_Type - with the MIME type string as only parameter, if you have one - or no parameter if you want to begin a new one.
To set or retrieve the media type (part before the slash), use the object's
$media property. The same applies to the subtype,
the property name is $subType.
If you are done editing your MIME type, use get() to retrieve the MIME type's string representation.
Working with parameters
To retrieve parameters, use the $parameters property.
It is an array consisting of MIME_Type_Parameter
objects if there are any.
You can remove any parameter by calling removeParameter() and passing the parameter's name as only parameter.
Parameters are added with addParameter().
It takes the $name, $value
and an optional $comment as parameters.
Again: If you are done editing the parameters, use get() to retrieve the MIME type's string representation.
There are three static methods that help you working with parameters:
-
hasParameters() checks if the passed MIME type string has any parameters in it.
-
getParameters() returns an array of MIME_Type_Parameter objects if there are any parameters in the passed type string.
-
stripParameters() removes all parameters and comments from the given type string.
