How upload *.ico file? - El Forum - 05-04-2010

Hi all!

I dont known how upload ico file in CodeIgniter.

In my code i try use next allowed_types set:

Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|icon|image|image/ico';

But *.ico file don't uploading. CI show error: "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed".

How writing to allowed_types string for *.ico file uploading worked?

Code:

No, this already not work.

Incidentally, "image/ico" - it is ICO mime type, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(file_format).

Any other ideas?

You have to add the ico extension to config/mimes.php. The only valid parameters in $config['allowed_types'] are extensions. icon|image|image/ico will all be ignored.

I add to config/mimes.php to $mimes array variable next data:

Code:
...,

'ico'=>array('image/vnd.microsoft.icon', 

             'image/ico', 

             'image/icon', 

             'text/ico', 

             'application/ico', 

             'image/x-icon'),

...,

and write "allowed_types" as:

Code:
$config['allowed_types']='gif|jpg|png|ico';

but already not work.

*.png/*.jpg/*.gif upload normally, but *.ico can't uploading.

http://itlivewire.com/devblog/2010/04/13/codeigniter-upload-the-filetype-you-are-attempting-to-upload-is-not-allowed/ You can follow these steps to determine what the mime type should be. There have also been recent posts about a bug with listing image types first along with other filetypes for the upload class... You might need to put ico first.

I determine mime type, ico-file detect as "image/x-icon".

If allowed_types set to

Code:
"ico|gif|jpg|png"

then ico-file normally uploaded. And png-file normally uploaded.

If allowed_types set to

Code:
"gif|jpg|png|ico"

then ico-file can't uploaded. Png-file normally uploaded.

There is unambiguously bug.

Hi,

Try this:

Code:
// Add this to your .htaccess file.

AddType image/x-icon .ico

On unix and linux server you may need to use all lowercase.

You can add other mime types the same way.

I set
'ico' => array('image/ico', 'image/x-icon'), in config/mimes.php
and
$config['allowed_types'] = 'ico|jpg|png'; in my controller

Working... Smile
