Install fileinfo php extension

Question

As the fileinfo is moved from PECL to PHP. What is the best way to install it through WHM or putty.?

I tried following command:

pecl install fileinfo
<         


        

Answer 1

This extension is enabled by default as of PHP 5.3.0. Before this time, fileinfo was a PECL extension but is no longer maintained there. However, versions prior to 5.3+ may use the » discontinued PECL extension.
