PHP Headers and Popular Mime Types
Like my Create a Basic Web Service Using PHP, MySQL, XML, and JSON illustrates, even though a file's extension ends in PHP, you can still tell the browser that you're outputting a different content type. Here are a few of the more popular content types used on the internet.
Atom
header('Content-Type: application/atom+xml');
CSS
header('Content-Type: text/css');
Javascript
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');
JPEG Image
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
JSON
header('Content-Type: application/json');
PDF
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
RSS
header('Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=ISO-8859-1');
Text (Plain)
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
XML
header('Content-Type: text/xml');
Just because a file ends in .PHP doesn't mean it responds with XHTML -- respond however you'd like!

Chris Coyer's incredible CodePen is much more than your typical code'n'share site. CodePen features the end result more than the code, provides loads of collaboration tools, and seems to be pushing new features every week. But what...

As much as developers now loathe Flash, we're still playing a bit of catch up to natively duplicate the animation capabilities that Adobe's old technology provided us. Of course we have canvas, an awesome technology, one which I highlighted

Developers everywhere seem to be looking for different ways to make use of JavaScript libraries. Some creations are extremely practical, others aren't. This one may be more on the "aren't" side but used correctly, my TextOverlap plugin...

I've always been intrigued by recognition software because I cannot imagine the logic that goes into all of the algorithms. Whether it's voice, face, or other types of detection, people look and sound so different, pictures are shot...
![Introducing MooTools Templated]()
One major problem with creating UI components with the MooTools JavaScript framework is that there isn't a great way of allowing customization of template and ease of node creation. As of today, there are two ways of creating:
Great list of mime types.
Perhaps I’d just be careful about the charset at the RSS example. People could add it blindly and suddenly accented characters would stop working if the rest of the site is using other encodings, like utf-8.
Interesting list. Nothing new, but still nice. BTW Javascript and XML should be application, text is obsolete.
@Matěj Grabovský: Interesting. Can you share your resource for knowing that?
Thank you for sharing your list
Please check below link complete list of mime types

Now, I have only question related to your awesome site.
Question: How your site is working fast? When I click on any link, page loads are very fast and easily.
Will you give me answer?
@David Walsh: Well, especially Wikipedia, RFCs (concretely RFC3023) and this thing.
Thank you for sharing Matěj!
You’re welcome, sir!
BTW, It is common to prefix experimental mime types with ‘x-’ (e.g. application/x-json)
Very usefull stuff, I suggest you ad this one too (exe, zip, rar…)
header(“Content-Type: application/force-download”);
BTW, 7 comments, since may 7th… and it’s 7 a.m. here in Morocco
Thanks a lot for this information.
Content-Type or Content-type ?
Have been using just the java, css and htmls. Will do with the rest later.
Thanks for the list David.
Pleasure reading.
;)
Perfect list! Just what I was looking for. Thanks, Mr. Walsh :-)
