wp_get_ext_types(): array[]

Compatibility

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Return value

array[]

Multi-dimensional array of file extensions types keyed by the type of file.

Performance profile

How much work a call to wp_get_ext_types() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class

Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling

Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions

5

Executed per call on PHP 8.5. The body compiles to 5.

Plugin surface

1 hook

Third-party callbacks on 'ext2type' run inside this call, and their cost is not bounded by anything here.

Called by

3

3 places in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost wp_get_ext_types() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

Hooks and filters fired · 1

One hook fires while wp_get_ext_types() runs, in this order:

1. 1
   apply_filters( ext2type )filterline 3618 (+11 into the body)

   Filters file type based on the extension name.

Uses · 1

• apply_filters()Calls the callback functions that have been added to a filter hook.

• WP_Customize_Media_Control::to_json()Refresh the parameters passed to the JavaScript via JSON.
• get_post_mime_types()Gets default post mime types.
• wp_ext2type()Retrieves the file type based on the extension name.
