Serious problem with file upload and MS Word docs in IE 7+

[quote author="noctrum" date="1266374695"]Ehh... data() probably only gets populated on success... Can you check $_FILES['fieldname']['file_type']?

Also, have you checked http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/102126/?[/quote]

Thanks, I had looked at that, and added those MIME types to my config/mimes.php file but it didn't help.

Adding 'application/x-zip-compressed' to the docx array did solve the problem though. Thank you for pointing out the file_type (mime type) in the array.

I wish there was an easier way to handle file uploads... but am glad it's fixed (until a new version of Word, at least).

Thanks again
