Here are some relevant discussions, but I agree with the answer on the first question saying to change hosts:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31670400/laravel-mime-type-guessers-alternative
I am using a shared web host that do not allow enabling the php file_info extension so I am receiving this error when validating uploads: Unable to guess the mime type as no guessers are available (Did you enable the php_fileinfo extension?)
Is there any other alternative for file upload validation in laravel 5.4 that bypass this? I did not manage to find any.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
