Hi there,
I keep getting this error when trying to import a .csv data file. i have tried selecting different types of charts, and always get similar errors (the line number simply changes).


Fatal error: Call to undefined function mime_content_type() in /home/syedchou/public_html/demo/PRC/administrator/components/com_artiofusioncharts/helpers/helper.php on line 989


I bought a user license, and but am currently using this on a development site (which is on a different domain). Is that the problem?

Or is it something else? Maybe my .csv file is too complex?

Also, is there a user guide for the advance functionality in the paid version? i.e. for the database manager and csv import? I can just find the free version's user guide, which is quote pointless!

PHP.net says that the function "mime_content_type()" is deprecated, and we should use the PECL extension Fileinfo. (php.net/manual/en/function.mime-content-type.php)

Is that the correct solution for this issue? And if so, is there a patch that I can apply to my installation to fix this problem? or do I need to go through all the coding and replace the function on by one? (or am i barking up the wrong tree?)

Emailed Support and they sent over a fix. You just need to replace the following file:
[root]/administrator/components/com_artiofusioncharts/helpers/helper.php

I have attached the zip file that support sent over, in case anyone else encounters the same problem
