The string will contain all of the MIME Types that we are able to parse.

It is also possible to specify additional MIME types in the form array('text/plain' => 0.5) where 0.5 is the q value for that type. The types are sorted by q value before constructing the string.

Parameters

array $extraTypes extra MIME types to add

Return Value

string list of supported MIME types

static string formatAcceptHeader(array $accepted_types)

Convert array of types to Accept header value

Parameters

array $accepted_types

Return Value

string

at line 136
static boolean formatExists(string $name)

Parameters

string $name the name of the format

Return Value

boolean true if the format exists

at line 149
