Why doesn't the file upload allowed_types work?

[eluser]dallen33[/eluser]
I'm allowing these types:

Code:

gif|jpg|png|doc|pdf|psd|eps|jpeg|bmp|tiff|rtf|txt

Nothing fancy going on there. Yet, I can't upload EPS files (they are denied), I can only upload SOME jpgs, some are denied. Is there something wrong with this class?

I found another post that "fixed" the situation for me by allowing ALL file types:

But I'm still not sure why some PDFs, all EPSs, some JPGs are not being accepted.

You can probably check on this too...

Most likely it has to do with the mime type. Each browser sends a different mime-type identification sometimes files of the same type are identified different. You need to edit the config/mimes.php file and add each type there.

IMHO better hack the library and disable the mime check;
