Uploader.php function _file_mime_type fails in CI 2.1

Yeah, i think that could be the problem but i don't have access to the php.ini file right now, because it is hosted by my client.

The solution i found was remove the call of the function from the line #199:

Code:

$this->file_type = $_FILES[$field]['type'];

And replace with:

Code:

$this->_file_mime_type($_FILES[$field]);

Just because this is in admin part of my system and the ecommerce i'm builting don't have any uploads from the users at this time.

I think this is a poor solution (and unsecure too), but i think that a solution that breaks when you are using linux with an php installation who blocks exec() calls (what not is an uncommon situation) is as poor as my approach.
