You need to use php code to see the mime

Code:

echo $_FILES['userfile']['type']

And check if the mime type is present in the config/mimes.php file for that extension. If it isn't you add it and then it should work.

can you show your upload code?

[eluser]praveens[/eluser]
controller code

Code:

function update_vectors()
    {
        if($this->session->userdata('user_id'))
        {
            $this->pre_update_vectors();
            
            $arr_data['vectorresults']    =    $this->adminmodel->getvector();
            
            if($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
            {
                $arr_data['custom_message']=" ";
                $this->load->view('admin/update_vector',$arr_data);    

            }
            else
            {
                if($err = $this->_add_vector())
                {
                    $arr_data['uploadError'] = $err;
                    $this->load->view('admin/update_vector',$arr_data);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            redirect('users/login');
        }
    }
    
    function pre_update_vectors()
    {
        $rules['vectornameid'] = "trim|required|xss_clean";
        $rules['instruction'] = "trim|required|xss_clean";
        $this->validation->set_rules($rules);
            
        $fields['vectornameid']="Vector Name";
        $fields['instruction'] ="Instruction";
        $this->validation->set_fields($fields);

    }
    
    function _add_vector()
    {
        $config['allowed_types']     = 'png|pdf|jpg|bmp|gif|psd|eps|cdr|zip|txt';
        $config['upload_path']         = './uploads/adminaddedvectors';
        $config['max_size']         = '10000';
        $this->load->library('upload', $config);
        
        //echo $_FILES['userfile']['type'] ;

                
        if (!$this->upload->do_upload('userfile'))
        {
            return $this->upload->display_errors();
        }
        else
        {
            $file_upload = $this->upload->data();
            $filename = $file_upload['file_name'];
                    
            $arr_data = $this->adminmodel->update_admin_vector($filename);  /* call model function to update records*/
            $this->send_mail();
            redirect('admin/update_vectors','refresh');
        }
    }

I think it has to do with how the browser is handling the mime.

Do all file type give that error or only certain ones? Is the output for this the same in both browsers?

Code:

echo $_FILES['userfile']['type']
