Hi all members,
here is a problem which is creating little problem, I have a page on which im uploading a pdf file in CMS. But uploading is working fine in IE but in firefox its giving error
"File type is not allowed"

Any idea?
i have mime.php like this

Code:
'pdf'    =>    array('application/pdf', 'application/x-download'),

and my model code is..

Code:
if($_FILES['pdffile']['size'])

{

  $pdffile    = 'pdffile'; 

  $config_pdf['upload_path'] = './directory/projects/;

  $config_pdf['allowed_types']     = 'pdf';

  $config_pdf['max_size']    = '50000';

  $this->upload->initialize($config_pdf);

  $this->load->library('upload', $config_pdf);

  if(!$this->upload->do_upload($pdffile))

  {

    $error         = $this->upload->display_errors();

   }

}

thanks in advance

I'm getting the same error. I'm using FF 3.5.1

I'm not sure, but I believe this is a problem this the content-type supplied by FF to the application and not CI. When I view the headers sent to my CI app, i'm getting

"application/pdf" <- with the quotes

In IE8, I get

application/pdf <- without the quotes

But if i'm uploading another type of document, IE. Word Document I get application/msword without the quotes.

This can be fixed by editing the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Mozilla profile folder and removing

Code:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:&quot;application/pdf&quot;"

                   NC:value="&quot;application/pdf&quot;"

                   NC:editable="true"

                   NC:fileExtensions="pdf"

                   NC:description="PDF Document">

    <NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:&quot;application/pdf&quot;"/>

</RDF:Description>

I will file a bug report with CI (even thought technically this is not a CI bug) to filter out these mime-types that are submitted.

Dear,

In config/mimes.php:
change to 'pdf' => array('application/pdf', '\"application/pdf\"', 'application/x-download').

It's crazy but worked on firefox and IE Wink
