Forma with PHP 5.4

Im trying to use Forma with PHP 5.4. During install I get the issue "mime_content_type() support: OFF".

How do I get around this?

Hi,
it doesn't have anything to do with the php version, the system simply checks for the mime_content_type support and if it doesn't find it, it blocks the installation. Mime content support is essential to be able to upload files. You would get the same message with other php versions.

You don't have to get around, you have to allow the mime content support

The issue is widely discussed on the forum, as well as some work arounds:

Well it works fine unless I switch my PHP version to version 5.4 in IIS. With 5.3 I dont have the mime_type issue but since its deprecated in 5.4 I need to take other steps which the Forma installation does not take into account.

Isn't the workaround described in one of the 2 links I posted useful?
