[ i accidently posted this in Bug Reports at first, so apoligies to anybody that sees this twice ]
i copied the mime types array from the APP/config/mimes.php file,
then stripped out some of the file types i didn’t want, ( a mime is a terrible thing to waste )
then used that to create my list of allowed file types for file uploading
Code:
$mimes = array(
'csv' => array('text/x-comma-separated-values', 'text/comma-separated-values', 'application/octet-stream', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'text/csv', 'application/csv', 'application/excel', 'application/vnd.msexcel'),
'psd' => 'application/x-photoshop',
'pdf' => array('application/pdf', 'application/x-download'),
'ai' => 'application/postscript',
'eps' => 'application/postscript',
'ps' => 'application/postscript',
'xls' => array('application/excel', 'application/vnd.ms-excel'),
'ppt' => array('application/powerpoint', 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint'),
'gtar' => 'application/x-gtar',
'gz' => 'application/x-gzip',
'swf' => 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
'tar' => 'application/x-tar',
'tgz' => 'application/x-tar',
'xhtml' => 'application/xhtml+xml',
'xht' => 'application/xhtml+xml',
'zip' => array('application/x-zip', 'application/zip', 'application/x-zip-compressed'),
'mid' => 'audio/midi',
'midi' => 'audio/midi',
'mpga' => 'audio/mpeg',
'mp2' => 'audio/mpeg',
'mp3' => array('audio/mpeg', 'audio/mpg'),
'aif' => 'audio/x-aiff',
'aiff' => 'audio/x-aiff',
'aifc' => 'audio/x-aiff',
'ram' => 'audio/x-pn-realaudio',
'rm' => 'audio/x-pn-realaudio',
'rpm' => 'audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin',
'ra' => 'audio/x-realaudio',
'rv' => 'video/vnd.rn-realvideo',
'wav' => 'audio/x-wav',
'bmp' => 'image/bmp',
'gif' => 'image/gif',
'jpeg' => array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),
'jpg' => array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),
'jpe' => array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),
'png' => array('image/png', 'image/x-png'),
'tiff' => 'image/tiff',
'tif' => 'image/tiff',
'css' => 'text/css',
'html' => 'text/html',
'htm' => 'text/html',
'shtml' => 'text/html',
'txt' => 'text/plain',
'text' => 'text/plain',
'log' => array('text/plain', 'text/x-log'),
'rtx' => 'text/richtext',
'rtf' => 'text/rtf',
'xml' => 'text/xml',
'xsl' => 'text/xml',
'mpeg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mpg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mpe' => 'video/mpeg',
'qt' => 'video/quicktime',
'mov' => 'video/quicktime',
'avi' => 'video/x-msvideo',
'movie' => 'video/x-sgi-movie',
'doc' => 'application/msword',
'docx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document',
'xlsx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
'word' => array('application/msword', 'application/octet-stream'),
'xl' => 'application/excel',
'eml' => 'message/rfc822'
);
$config['allowed_types'] = 'cpt'; // enter first element manually
foreach ( $mimes as $mime => $type )
{
$config['allowed_types'] .= '|' . $mime; // add additional elements preceeded with a pipe
}
echoing the allowed_types produces this :
cpt|csv|psd|pdf|ai|eps|ps|xls|ppt|gtar|gz|swf|tar|tgz|xhtml|xht|zip|mid|midi|mpga|mp2|mp3|aif|aiff|aifc|ram|rm|rpm|ra|rv|wav|bmp|gif|jpeg|jpg|jpe|png|tiff|tif|css|html|htm|shtml|txt|text|log|rtx|rtf|xml|xsl|mpeg|mpg|mpe|qt|mov|avi|movie|doc|docx|xlsx|word|xl|eml
which looks ok to my (naive?) eye.
then, if i try to upload any kind of file (i’m using a txt file for testing purposes) i get:
The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.
that’s in FF3, IE7, and Chrome
if i reduce the allowed types to simply:
Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'txt';
then it works fine, so i know the problem isn’t elsewhere.
Does anybody have any golden nuggets of wisdom and/or experience they can share that might help to solve this problem ?
Or has anybody else experienced one of the above mime types throwing the whole machine out of whack ?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
