As the fileinfo is moved from PECL to PHP. What is the best way to install it through WHM or putty.?
I tried following command:
pecl install fileinfo
and received following error:
WARNING: “pear/Fileinfo” is deprecated in favor of “channel://php-src/ext/fileinfo/in php sources
“WARNING: channel “pear.php.net” has updated its protocols, use “pecl channel-update pear.php.net” to update

Make sure that you run ‘/usr/local/bin/phpize’ in the top level source directory of the module

This extension is enabled by default as of PHP 5.3.0. Before this time, fileinfo was a PECL extension but is no longer maintained there. However, versions prior to 5.3+ may use the ยป discontinued PECL extension.

This error is displayed because you don’t have php-devel package installed
