Problem uploading PDF Files

[eluser]Muppit[/eluser]
I too had this problem - took me ages to find this post and when I did I followed the advice to check the file type being passed.

Turns out it looked like this: 'aplication/unknown' - why I have no idea but explains why the uploader was spitting the dummy.

Anyway, because it's 4:30pm Friday and because I'm dying for an ice-cold Steinlager I fixed the issue by amending this line:

Code:

'pdf'    =>    array('application/pdf', 'application/x-download'),

to:

Code:

'pdf'    =>    array('application/pdf', 'application/x-download', 'application/unknown'),

In the file located here: system/application/config/mimes.php

I realise this is bad programming practices but like I said, it will band-aid that irritating error message until I can figure out why my PDF's are so crappy.

Cheers,

Muppit
