File upload class issue - El Forum - 09-01-2014
[eluser]Andrewkha[/eluser]
Hello!
I want to allow uploading both xls and xlsx files.
I have the following code in the controller:
Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'xls|xlsx';and the following definitions in the mime config:
Code:
'xls' => array('application/excel', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'application/msexcel', 'application/vnd.ms-office', 'application/vnd.ms-excel.12'),
'xlsx' => array('application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet', 'application/zip', 'application/vnd.ms-office', 'application/vnd.ms-excel.12'),Uploading xls works well. But when I try to upload xlsx I get Wrong file type error.
What's wrong?

Everything looks fine, your definition in the mime config is similar to mine (although mine is shorter than yours):
Code:
'xlsx' => array('application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet', 'application/zip'),What happens if you temporarily change the allowed types in the controller to only allow xlsx:
Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'xlsx';Will it now allow you to upload a .xlxs ?

No, it also doesn't work...

That's very strange... could you attach your xlsx file so I can try uploading it in my application, see if I get the same error?

Uploaded successfully!
So... it's definitely a problem with your setup.
Running out of ideas (was hoping it wouldn't upload for me) - did you try this in your mimes config
Code:
'xlsx' => array('application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet', 'application/zip'),not that it should make any difference, just clutching at straws now!!!

Tried your config as well, but didn't help. OK, thanks for assistance, will try to find a bug...

I found a root cause. For some reason it determined the file type as 'application/vnd.ms-excel'. Once I added it into the xlsx mime definition, it works.

So pleased that you managed to solve it - good thinking to check what your server was determining the mime type as!
