Why doesn't the file upload allowed_types work? - El Forum - 05-12-2009

I'm allowing these types:
Code:
gif|jpg|png|doc|pdf|psd|eps|jpeg|bmp|tiff|rtf|txtNothing fancy going on there. Yet, I can't upload EPS files (they are denied), I can only upload SOME jpgs, some are denied. Is there something wrong with this class?

I found another post that "fixed" the situation for me by allowing ALL file types:

But I'm still not sure why some PDFs, all EPSs, some JPGs are not being accepted.

Most likely it has to do with the mime type. Each browser sends a different mime-type identification sometimes files of the same type are identified different. You need to edit the config/mimes.php file and add each type there.
IMHO better hack the library and disable the mime check;
