The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed. But it's on your $config['allowed_types']?

Hello,

Thank you for this opportunity now my hair is starting to grow, because for two days I've been pulling it all out, What's the problem with this file_upload class , I've already allowed the types on my config

Code:

$config['allowed_types'] = 'doc|txt|jpg';

but only jpg seems to upload on my server, it was all fine on the local host but when on the online server it does not allow the config types i allowed.

i tried and researched all of possible solution but failed, until i found out one thing, that some (not all) MIME TYPES differ from every server and browser, so before uploading check first the mime type of the file you want to allow.

for example on my local server
docx has a mime type of

Code:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

while on my server online the mime type is

Code:

inode/x-empty

just check on the mime types associated with the files then add it to your application/config/mimes.php maybe it's one of those problems you encounter
just a heads up.
