Codeigniter (latest version) keeps spitting out "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed" when trying to use 'sql' as the allowed filetype in $config['allowed_types'].
I've added 'sql' => 'text/x-sql' to mimes.php config file and verified the browser is indeed recognizing the sql file as being of type text/x-sql but still, no luck.
Is there anything else I can check to get this working? I'd rather not use * for allowed file types if possible.
I know this sounds really crazy but I would make the rule to accept anything (*) and I would check for extension (in this case *.sql). Reason why is simple, browser sets mimetype and I can not rely on that...
But please try following mimetypes application/octet-stream and of course text/plain.
You can check mimetype with $_FILES['userfile']['type']
