Upload filetype not allowed??

[eluser]rainman[/eluser]
Do you have the proper rights on the hosted server for the tmp and upload file location?

In my case, I wasn't able to read the file in the tmp_location so the is_allowed_filetype was returning FALSE.

Since allowing (*) was a poor option, I adjusted the code slightly to ensure that I could still use the class. I'll have to go back and adjust a little more but, it works for me while testing in dev / production.
In the following function >> public function is_allowed_filetype
Here is the code snippet.

Code:

if (is_array($mime))
  {
   // updated this to check mime defined vs. file_type for now.
   /*
   if (in_array($this->file_type, $mime, TRUE))
   {
    return TRUE;
   }
   */
   if (in_array($ext, $mime, TRUE)) {
    return TRUE;
   }
  
  }

** In my case I was uploading a csv file. I updated my mimes array to include csv as part of the csv array. I'm going to go back and update this to if(array_key_exists) in the code above to tighten it up a bit.

Code:

$mimes = array( 'hqx' => 'application/mac-binhex40',
    'cpt' => 'application/mac-compactpro',
    'csv' => array('csv', 'text/x-comma-separated-values', 'text/comma-separated-values', 'application/octet-stream', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'application/x-csv', 'text/x-csv', 'text/csv', 'application/csv', 'application/excel', 'application/vnd.msexcel', 'text/plain'),

In your case with uploading a sql script, this may and may not work for you... but, just in case.. figured it might help someone.
