[quote author="kr1pt" date="1329671414"][quote author="jmadsen" date="1329611945"]then you probably want to do some error handling and let us know what's going on.

you're a programmer, right? you know how to set that up?[/quote]

well, lot of people here know whats going on, but for your sake, whenever i upload .zip or .rar file, I get "invalid filetype". $config['allowed_types'] = 'zip|rar', and mimes have rar and zip arrays...[/quote]

you see, that last time someone came on complaining that a certain file type wouldn't work for them, we did this long "please post your code & error messages" bit while they kept insisting over and over that it was "completely obvious" what the problem was...so after a few rounds of that, they finally posted the error message:

"The uploaded file exceeds the maximum allowed size in your PHP configuration file."

So, if you want to come to this community & ask people to take time out of their busy schedules to give you personal, one-on-one help:

-- post your code
-- post your error message

because we have no way to know if you are another Rasmus Lerdorf with a genuine bug, or are just another dumbshit who needs his hand held.
