Upload class will not allow docx files to be uploaded - El Forum - 07-16-2012

I can't get the upload class to allow docx files to be uploaded (I fixed the docx problem). I've tried changing the mime types in mimes.php but I still get an error
"The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed."
Code:
'docx' => array('application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document', 'text/plain'),Code:
public function upload_file($team_id)
{
$dir = $this->get_team_dir($team_id) . $this->get_photo_dir($team_id);
$config['upload_path'] = $dir;
$config['allowed_types'] = 'rtf|docx|doc|txt|pdf|xls';
$config['max_size'] = '10000000000';
$config['encrypt_name'] = true;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
{
return array('error'=>true, 'message'=>$this->upload->display_errors());
}
else
{
$arr = array('error'=>false, 'message'=>$this->upload->data());
return $arr;

In your mimes.php did you add it as "text/plain"??

Yes I did but for some reason the codeigniter upload library was reading the mime type a application/zip so I added that to the mime type for docx and that did the trick.

Set docx mime as array and add msword to it:
'docx' => array('application/msword', 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document')

Thank you for posting this, I was just having this issue. I found that adding 'application/msword' worked for docx files saved by Windows, but for some reason files saved on Word for Mac weren't working. My solution was to add 'application/zip' as well.
Code:
'docx' => array('application/msword', 'application/zip', 'application/octet-stream', 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document'),
