This seems simple enough but the answer seems to be eluding me. I want to extract the mime type of a "Moving Image" file attached to an item into a variable for use later in my plugin. My function is passing the $item object and I am testing to verify the $item has a file. But if I do the following:
$fileMime = item_file('mime type', get_current_file());
echo '<p>' . $fileMime . '</p>';
the plugin stops at the point the call is made with no errors. If I change the 'mime type' part to any other valid item like 'size' it still stops at that call. What I am hoping it would do is echo something like
video/x-m4v
Am I calling the wrong function? Am I not passing the right $item object? Other components like $title = item('Dublin Core', 'Title', $item); work fine so am I missing a link somewhere? ANy help would be appreciated.
