    CodeIgniter file upload validation of ppt and Ask Question

    pptx files

    $config = array(
    'upload_path' => 'resources/lectures',
    'allowed_types' => 'pdf|zip|doc|docx|ppt|pptx',
    'remove_spaces' => TRUE,
    'overwrite' => FALSE,
    'max_size' => 0,
    );

    This is my config array for file upload,


    and all files are uploading fine except
    for ppt and pptx. I checked the error
    message using the display_errors()
    method, it said 'The filetype you are
    attempting to upload is not allowed'.

    This is a bug of Codeigniter.

    Open application/config/mime.php

    and replace line no 33 (probably)


    with the following line:

    'ppt' =>
    array('application/powerpoint',
    'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
    'application/vnd.ms-office',
    'application/msword'),

    and Join
    add the following
    Stack line to
    Overflow to the
    learn, share knowledge, and build your career.
    array:
    By using our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understand our Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and our Terms of
    Service. 'pptx' => Sign Up
    array('application/vnd.openxmlformats-
