I am using codeigniter 3 and i want to upload .cdr file. I have also allowed in cofig. Below is the code for that:
$config = array(
'upload_path' => "./uploads/job_images/",
'allowed_types' => "gif|jpg|png|jpeg|pdf|cdr|ai|psd|zip",
'overwrite' => FALSE,
// 'max_size' => "2048000", // Can be set to particular file size , here it is 2 MB(2048 Kb)
// 'max_height' => "768",
// 'max_width' => "1024"
);
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
I have also checked in mimes.i got this for cdr:
'cdr' => array('application/cdr', 'application/coreldraw', 'application/x-cdr', 'application/x-coreldraw', 'image/cdr', 'image/x-cdr', 'zz-application/zz-winassoc-cdr'),
but still i am getting an error like The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.
Ok, I got the actual problem. I checked the mime type of file using $FILES['userfile']['type']. I got application/octet-stream as output which was not in allowed mime types.
