User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
Despite the php extension fileinfo being enabled by default in php we have had quite a few users who are discovering that media manager will not load. This is because they have fileinfo disabled on the server.
This PR adds fileinfo to the list of php settings shown in the system information.
To test
Install the PR and check the php settings page of the system information and you will see the new line "Fileinfo Available" which hopefully has a setting of yes.
In your php.ini file locate the line with extension=fileinfo and comment it out by placing at ; at the beginning of the line.
Then restart apache
Now when you go to media manager you will see the reported error.
Check the php settings page of the system information and you will see that fileinfo is not available
Now go back to php.ini and uncomment that line
Restart apache
And check that media manager works and the system setting shows fileinfo is available

So its kind of a soft requirement? IIRC we do have an optional php modules list on docs where we can add this too when its not there yet right?

Thx
Thank you
How many users really do that? We could at least give users a heads up. We know for a fact that the media manager will not work without fileinfo
