PDF upload new!
by Ben, 17 years, 10 months ago
Hi,

I used the simple upload to try to up some pdf files :
Error: Incorrect type of file

I used
$handle->allowed =
   array('application/pdf','application/msword'); 
That doesn't fix it !

Can you help me?Reply

Can you copy and paste here the log ($handle->log)? Which browser do you use?

application/pdf should be working.

But you can try the following ones:
application/x-pdf
application/acrobat
applications/vnd.pdf
text/pdf
text/x-pdf

Tell me which one works for you.Reply

Firefox

source is an uploaded file
- source variables
    file_src_name         : 
    file_src_name_body    : 
    file_src_name_ext     : 
    file_src_pathname     : 
    file_src_mime         : 
    file_src_size         :  (max= 67108864)
    file_src_error        : 4

Also these are two lines of code i'm using
$handle = new Upload($file);
$handle->allowed = array('application/x-pdf', 
    'application/acrobat', 'applications/vnd.pdf',
    'text/pdf', 'text/x-pdf'); 

Many thanksReply

Well, it is rather weird, because PHP hasn't received any file. So the class can't do much.

Does it do the same with any PDF documents?Reply

Yeah, i've tried 3 or 4 different one with differing sizes. I've used httpliveheaders (firefox plugin) and the file is going. So i'm as confused.Reply

I don't know if it helps, but I had to add 'application/octet' to get pdfs to work.

Strangely though, pdfs were uploaded fine when I first wrote the code (without any mime type checking), but now (several months on) it was broken. I may have switched to using a new version of class.upload or it may have been something has changed on the server....Reply
