Uploader.php function _file_mime_type fails in CI 2.1 - El Forum - 03-21-2012

You can use valum's uploader, which I am using in Community Auth, but you've still got to validate the file, and if you're not going to use the CodeIgniter Upload library to do it, I hope you will at least do something similar. Also, because valum's uploader is a javascript uploader, if you plan to accommodate users who have javascript disabled, then valum's uploader isn't exactly a perfect solution or workaround. I think your best option is to revert back to an Upload library from a previous version of CodeIgniter, although the newer one that uses finfo would be considered considerably safer.

Because when I did try my application on Windows it working correctly.

Can you give do some debugging and try to tell exactly what is failing?

Simple try uploading a csv file,
mimes.php has the exact type but it just does not upload,
with valums server-side validation works too

This doesn't tell anything other than "it doesn't work for me".
Try dumping $this->upload->file_type after it fails and tell it's value. Also try editing the library and put some echo/var_dump/whatever somewhere in _file_mime_type() to see which detection method is used.

i'm facing the same problem, i guess something is wrong with the line #1071:
Code:
$mime = @exec($cmd, $mime, $return_status);but till the moment i don't know what is.

Some hosts block exec() and some other functions. Look for "disable_functions" in your php configuration file and see if its there.

Yeah, i think that could be the problem but i don't have access to the php.ini file right now, because it is hosted by my client.
The solution i found was remove the call of the function from the line #199:
Code:
$this->file_type = $_FILES[$field]['type'];And replace with:
Code:
$this->_file_mime_type($_FILES[$field]);Just because this is in admin part of my system and the ecommerce i'm builting don't have any uploads from the users at this time.
I think this is a poor solution (and unsecure too), but i think that a solution that breaks when you are using linux with an php installation who blocks exec() calls (what not is an uncommon situation) is as poor as my approach.

Hi;
T think that the solution is modifing this line:
Code:
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);for this:
Code:
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME);When you use finfo like a object you must use FILEINFO_MIME and when use finfo_file function you must use FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE, I think ....
