This class can detect the filetype by its content (header and trailer). A file can match several file definitions. Zip is a container used in zip archives, office documents, software packages and other. Then you get the results in order with the highest rankings on top.
The base for the decision are the signatures from https://www.garykessler.net/software/index.html#filesigs

Initialization:
require './src/filedetector.class.php';
$oFD=new axelhahn\filedetector();Example: reference an existing local file
// set a file to analyze
$oFD->setFile($sMyfile); With the dump method you get some detected internal details:
// show extension, header and trailer bytes of the file
echo $oFD->dump(); Filename : build/FileSigs_20200424/FTK_sigs_GCK.zip
Extension : ZIP
First bytes : 50 4B 03 04 0A 00 00 00 00 00 3A 77 98 50 00 00 00 00 00 00
Last bytes : 05 06 00 00 00 00 99 04 99 04 BF DA 01 00 53 44 05 00 00 00
The method getType returns the array of all file types matching first and last bytes.
// get all matching filetypes
print_r($oFD->getType());It returns the score in the first subkey (here: "6") containing an array with details about filetype and detection values.

Example: you can try to detect a file type by a few first bytes as hexadecimal values - with or without spaces:
$oFD->setSignature('11 22 33 44 66 74 79 70 69 73 6F 6D');
echo $oFD->dump();Filename :
Extension :
First bytes : 11 22 33 44 66 74 79 70 69 73 6F 6D
Last bytes :
print_r($oFD->getType());Array
