How do I upload .docx using Codeigniter? (PHP)
codeigniter, file-upload, php
Solution
Try to add this mime type: `application/zip` to `application/config/mimes.php` for `docx`. It works for me. If it not help. Open `system/libraries/Upload.php`(line 205) and do this:
var_dump($this->file_type);
exit();
You will see file type of you .docx and need to add it to docx mimes list in config.
Problem
I'm attempting to upload a .docx using the upload helper in Codeigniter. ``` public function upload($id,$type){ $folder = $type; $config['upload_path'] = RESOURCE_PATH . $folder; $config['allowed_types'] = 'pdf|doc|docx'; $config['max_size'] = '100000'; $this->CI->load->library('upload',$config); //$this->load->library('upload', $config); if (!$this->CI->upload->do_upload('userfile')){ echo $this->CI->upload->display_errors(); } .... ``` The upload function works fine on my local host. However, when I try uploading the .docx file on the server I get "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed". I can upload other files on the server and the code is an exact copy of what I have locally. I also googled around and found some people changed the mime for .docx to: ``` 'docx' => array('application/msword','application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document','application/octet-stream') ``` but that doesn't seem to have resolved the issue. What could be going wrong and how do I resolve the issue so I can resolve this issue?
