File upload mime-type problems we meet again

[eluser]predi[/eluser]
Im using 2.1.3
I've got a problem uploading various files, for example "xls" ones using the "upload" library.

Here's my "xls" definition in the mimes.php:

Code:

'xls' => array('application/excel', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'application/msexcel')

Here's the code:

Code:

$this->load->library('upload', $config);
  
if(!$this->upload->do_upload('file'))
{
   print_r($_FILES);
   print_r($this->upload->data());
   die();
}

And here's the output that i get:

Code:

// $_FILES tells us its a "application/vnd.ms-excel" and it's defined in the "xls" mimes
// WTF? Y U NO UPLOAD then ?!
[file] => Array
        (
            [name] => test.xls
            [type] => application/vnd.ms-excel
            [tmp_name] => D:\wamp\tmp\phpC972.tmp
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 27136
        )
)

Code:

// the $_FILES global tells us "application/vnd.ms-excel"
// CI recognizes as "application/msword"
// O_o
Array
(
    [file_name] => test.xls
    [file_type] => application/msword
    [file_path] => D:/wamp/www/upload/
    [full_path] => D:/wamp/www/test.xls
    [raw_name] => test
    [orig_name] =>
    [client_name] => test.xls
    [file_ext] => .xls
    [file_size] => 27136
    [is_image] =>
    [image_width] =>
    [image_height] =>
    [image_type] =>
    [image_size_str] =>
)

And here's the .htaccess just in case

Code:

AddType application/excel xls xlsx

So... Why is the upload library recognizing mimes wrong?!
Thx in advance, been struggling few hours so far...

I'm not quite sure, but it seems there is a problem with upload library.
Maybe this thread can help you http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/70998/

[eluser]predi[/eluser]
Me either. Its seems like its a OS (win7) problem. As CI uses system utils for mime recognition.
As a temp solution i just added "application/msword" to "xls" mimes.
Works, but still investigating...
thx for yr reply btw
