I’ve been trying to get Arthemia to work on my website but I couldn’t get Timthumb to work. After countless hours of searching the internet, this simple solution turns out to be all I needed. Thanks!

THANKS! It’s working perfectly now, after changing one quotation mark in the first line. I’m so, so grateful for this post.

Hey asteroid,

Below is the function and where I changed the code. I commented out the section that is commented then added the section below it. That’s the only change I made.

function mime_type ( $file ) {

$os = strtolower(php_uname());
$mime_type = ”;

// use PECL fileinfo to determine mime type
// if( function_exists( ‘finfo_open’ ) ) {
// $finfo = finfo_open( FILEINFO_MIME );
// $mime_type = finfo_file( $finfo, $file );
// finfo_close( $finfo );
// }
// Check file type
$file_cmd = “file -ib \”$file\”";
exec ($file_cmd, $exec_output);
$mime_type = $exec_output[0];

I’m having this same problem with the magic database not loading, but I’m not sure I replaced the code correctly – I’m using the timthumb.php from http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php. Could you please let me know what the original section of code was supposed to be, not just the line numbers, so that I know what exactly to replace? Thank you so much, I really really hope this would make the thumbnails work!
