Do not define the data type to "upload"

Hi erikrocha,

this is a new feature in CI2 but, in the mean time, you can extends the upload class with this function:

Code:

public function is_allowed_filetype($ignore_mime = FALSE)
    {
        if ($this->allowed_types == '*')
        {
            return TRUE;
        }

        if (count($this->allowed_types) == 0 OR ! is_array($this->allowed_types))
        {
            $this->set_error('upload_no_file_types');
            return FALSE;
        }

        $ext = strtolower(ltrim($this->file_ext, '.'));

        if ( ! in_array($ext, $this->allowed_types))
        {
            return FALSE;
        }

        // Images get some additional checks
        $image_types = array('gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'jpe');

        if (in_array($ext, $image_types))
        {
            if (getimagesize($this->file_temp) === FALSE)
            {
                return FALSE;
            }
        }

        if ($ignore_mime === TRUE)
        {
            return TRUE;
        }

        $mime = $this->mimes_types($ext);

        if (is_array($mime))
        {
            if (in_array($this->file_type, $mime, TRUE))
            {
                return TRUE;
            }
        }
        elseif ($mime == $this->file_type)
        {
                return TRUE;
        }

        return FALSE;
    }

then set the allowed_types setting to

Code:

$config['allowed_types'] = '*';
