Upload Error: The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed. - El Forum - 01-13-2011

I get this error whenever trying to upload any jpg or png image file.
My form:
<form action="/merchant/process_create" method="post" id="merchant_signup" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<?php
echo form_label('Select Your Logo or Relevant Image:', 'image');
echo "<br />";
?>
<input type="file" name="image" size="20" id="image" />
echo form_submit('submit', 'Create Account');
?>
The upload part of the controller:
//upload the image
$config['upload_path'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|jpeg|gif|png';
$config['max_size'] = '2000';
$config['max_width'] = '0';
$config['max_height'] = '0';
$config['file_name'] = time() . rand();
$config['remove_spaces'] = TRUE;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('image'))
{
$data= array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors('', '<br />'));
//reload the view
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('merchant_create_form', $data);
$this->load->view('footer');
} else {
//make the insert array
$merchant_data = array(
'user_id' => $this->session->userdata('user_id'),
'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
'uri_slug' => $this->input->post('uri_slug'),......
I have no clue what i'm doing wrong, please help.
Thanks!

From the userguide, the description for the file_name setting says:
Quote:If set CodeIgniter will rename the uploaded file to this name. The extension provided in the file name must also be an allowed file type.
Change your actual $config['file_name'] to:
Code:
$config['file_name'] = rand().time().get_extension($_FILES['image']['name']);You can use a function like this to get the extension:
Code:
function get_extension($filename)
{
$x = explode('.', $filename);
return '.'.end($x);
