Getting files by MIME type

[Jeremy Boggs]

Hi folks,

For a plugin I'm writing, I had the need to return files for an item that were a certain kind: PDF, HTML, XML, Word, RTF, and plain text. I wrote a function to do this, but am curious if this is the best way to go about this. The function is in a gist:

It relies on checking the mime_browser field in the Files table, and builds a select statement to find files with a mime_browser LIKE the mime types I wanted.

I wrote this for Omeka 1.5, and it does what I need it to do, but if there's room for improvement, I'd love to hear it. Also curious if there will be better ways to do this in 2.0.

Thanks!

Jeremy
