If statement for wordpress MIME type post attachment

Question

I am trying to create a if else statement for checking if the attachment is an audio file or not.

Could anyone assist in this please. I am using the wordpress get_post_mime_type function

if (get_post_mime_type($post->ID) == 'audio/mpeg') { 
    echo 'this is audio';
}
else {
    echo 'this aint audio';
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is inside the wordpress loop.

Answer 1

Try this one:

Its working in mine.

$attachment_mime = wp_check_filetype(wp_get_attachment_url($post->ID) );

if ( $attachment_mime['type'] == 'audio/mpeg') { 
    echo 'this is audio';
}
else {
    echo 'this aint audio';
}

Thanks.

Answer 2

you can try this one also.

File Type: <?php echo $attachment->post_mime_type; ?>

or

<?php echo get_post_mime_type(); ?>

Thanks
