Uploading .amr with codeigniter

I have been trying to get .arm upload to a website built in codeigniter. I know its not a default mine type so I added it with this:

'amr'   =>  'audio/amr',

but its doesnt seem to be working with that. I also added it to the allowed types. Any idea if amr can be supported and if so what may I be doing wrong?

Solution

  • You could try looking at system/libraries/Upload.php line 199:
    $this->_file_mime_type($_FILES[$field]);
    Change that line to
    $this->_file_mime_type($_FILES[$field]); var_dump($this->file_type); die();
    Now you redo your uploading and see what the actual mime type the browser sent to your server.

    One silly and insecure workaround I did was adding that actual mime type to mimes array. But this could change if this question get answered :)
