What could be the potential reasons for the mime_content_type() function not working on a server with PHP 4.3.11?

The potential reasons for the mime_content_type() function not working on a server with PHP 4.3.11 could be due to the function being deprecated or not enabled in the PHP configuration. To solve this issue, you can use the Fileinfo extension which provides similar functionality for determining the MIME type of a file. 

// Check if mime_content_type function is available
if(function_exists('mime_content_type')) {
    $mime_type = mime_content_type($file_path);
} else {
    // Use Fileinfo extension as fallback
    $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
    $mime_type = finfo_file($finfo, $file_path);
    finfo_close($finfo);
}

echo "MIME Type: " . $mime_type;
