mime_content_type(): Can only process string or stream arguments

I am trying to show attached documents to users and as attachments are mostly files not photos such as zip pdf docx i want to show static images regarding to type of those attachments but i get this error

mime_content_type(): Can only process string or stream arguments

Note: I am using Laravel PHP Framework and this validation is happening in blade template

Code

@if(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file == 'application/zip'))

    <img src="{{url('img')}}/zip.jpg" alt="zip file" class="img-fluid">

@elseif(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file == 'application/pdf'))

    <img src="{{url('img')}}/pdf.jpg" alt="pdf file" class="img-fluid">

@elseif(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file == 'application/msword'))

    <img src="{{url('img')}}/docx.png" alt="docx file" class="img-fluid">

@elseif(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file == 'image/jpeg'))

    <img src="{{url('img')}}/jpeg.png" alt="jpeg file" class="img-fluid">

@elseif(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file == 'image/png'))

    <img src="{{url('img')}}/png.png" alt="png file" class="img-fluid">

@else

    <img src="{{url('img')}}/unknown.png" alt="unknown file" class="img-fluid">

@endif

PS: If I use this code for instance

{{dd(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file) )}}

I will get

"application/zip"

Any idea?

@if(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file == 'application/zip'))

you should use this (look at parentheses): Your code is returning bool not a string

@if(mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file) == 'application/zip')

mime_content_type('images/'.$document->file   ==   'application/zip')

You probably don't want to be doing an equality check on those 2 strings in the function call.

'images/'.$document->file   ==   'application/zip'

false

So you are basically taking the long way to write:

@if (mime_content_type(false))
