Greeting to all..

Code:

$config2['encrypt_name'] = true ;
            $config2['remove_spaces'] = true ;
            $config2['upload_path'] = './uploads/attachments/';
            $config2['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg|bmp|zip|gz|rar|mpeg|mp3|avi|mp4|wav|exe|doc|docx|xlsx|xls|ppt|pptx|php|vb|cs|aspx|p|pdf|ZIP|RAR';
            $this->upload->initialize($config2);

hi,

I am having the same problem with this, I have a long list of extentions allowed but if I upload anything but an images I get the message "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed."

Here is my code:-

Code:

$this->load->helper('file');
        
        $hashed_id = sha1(md5($this->session->userdata("account_id")));
        $upload_path = './resources/client_files/'.$hashed_id.'/'.md5($_POST['project_id']).'/';
        
        if(!opendir($upload_path))
        {
            
            mkdir('./resources/client_files/'.$hashed_id.'/'.md5($_POST['project_id']).'/');    
            
        }
        
        $config['upload_path'] = $upload_path;
        $config['allowed_types'] = 'zip|rar|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|gif|jpg|png';
        $config['max_size'] = 1000000;
        
        $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    
        if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
        {
            
            $data['error'] = 1;
            $data['errmessage'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
            
            write_file("upload_log.log", $data['errmessage']);

        }    
        else
        {
            
            $uploaded = $this->upload->data();
            $data['upload_data'] = $uploaded;
            $data['error'] = 0;
            
            $insert_array = array(  "pf_projectidFK"     => $_POST['project_id'],
                                    "pf_filename"         => $uploaded['file_name'],
                                    "pf_location"         => $uploaded['file_path'],
                                    "pf_type"             => $uploaded['file_type'],
                                    "pf_size"             => $uploaded['file_size'],
                                    "pf_createdby"         => $this->session->userdata("userid"),
                                    "pf_createddate"     => date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
            
            $this->project_model->add_file($insert_array);

        }
        
        echo json_encode($data);

am working on some modification inside file uploading library, i hope we will not use the regular way to upload files or recreate new library !

keep in touch

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
I hope you are extending the library and not modifying...

You should never modify a CodeIgniter core library extend it.

[eluser]Aljebrini[/eluser]
i want to mess wih the library then i'll extend the result to another library class and put it here


Thank you for your advice it's important

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Well make sure you make a backup of it, because
CodeIgniter 2.0 may change things...

Also sometimes you may need to set the file types
in your .htaccess file, also make sure your host
is supporting those mime types if your live.

P.S
You should be passing $config[] not $config2[];

It's probably because you list your image attachments first. It's a bug in the way the CI Upload library validates: http://codeigniter.com/bug_tracker/bug/11552/
