Multi Upload with CI & swfUpload

Hi, everyone!

I was having trouble with SWFUpload sending the wrong mime type - so I fixed it!

It's a little dirty, but works nonetheless. You just need to make sure that the GD2 library is installed.

Here's the fix I put inside my controller:

Code:

/**
* SWFUpload passes all files across with a mime type of application/octet-stream
* This method fixes that.
*
* @access protected
* @param string The name of the file input field.
* @return void
*/
protected function _fix_mime_type($field='userfile')
{
    if (isset($_FILES[$field]))
    {
        $size = getimagesize($_FILES[$field]['tmp_name']);

        if ($size)
        {
            $_FILES[$field]['type'] = $size['mime'];
        }
    }
}

Simple call it before you call:

Code:

$this->upload->do_upload();

and all should be well.

I'm sure that this can be implemented within the upload library, but I'm in a terrible rush, and so haven't done so yet.

Hope this helps!

Ciao f'now!
