File Upload Class - allowed types

Hi,

is it possible to allow all filetypes here?

Best regards ...

out of the box, no. but you can quite easily extend the upload class to do so.

be careful of the security implications though.

Hi,

yes but I have a problem for example with exe-files. It is in $config['allowed_types'] and the mime type 'exe'=>'application/octet-stream' is set, but uploading an exe file is not possible. I get this message

The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.

. $_Files looks like:

Array ( [userfile] => Array ( [name] => AdvCardListDemo.exe [type] => application/octet-stream [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpGGvbIQ [error] => 0 [size] => 1340928 ) )

. Whats wrong?

Best regards ..

i think it may be something to do with browsers sending different mimetypes.

here's how to upload any file type:
