CodeIgniter: The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.
You are using Firefox, aren't you?
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();
Then do upload your .wmv
file. It would show something like application/octet-stream
or whatever. Add that to your mimes.php
. Hope this help =)

Codeigniter: The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed
SOLUTION:
I've try to upload it to server. But it still gives me the same error. Then i found this: Codeigniter : The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed. Yesterday it was fine
"The most recent time I have had this is when I upgraded my core Codeiginter version from 2.x to 3.x. I updated the contents of the system directory, but not application/config. I didn't spot the fact that the application/config/mimes.php file is slightly different - the newer version returns an array whereas the old one included it as a var. The fix was to copy in the newer version of mimes.php"
Codeigniter error: The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed
check 2 things:
First:
in your upload controller: make sure to set the correct allowed types
$config['allowed_types'] = 'csv';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
Second:
update the array $mimes
in your config/mimes.php:
'csv' => array('application/vnd.ms-excel',
'text/anytext',
'text/plain',
'text/x-comma-separated-values',
'text/comma-separated-values',
'application/octet-stream',
'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'application/x-csv',
'text/x-csv',
'text/csv',
'application/csv',
'application/excel',
'application/vnd.msexcel')
UPDATE:
you could use print_r($_FILES)
in your upload controller to check for the mime-type missing. this would output something like:
[userfile] => Array
(
[name] => teste1.csv
[type] => application/vnd.ms-excel
[tmp_name] => C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC11\binaries\tmp\php8BFD.tmp
[error] => 0
[size] => 7880
)
Uploading in Codeigniter - The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed
If you're using Codeigniter version 2.1.0 there is a bug in the Upload library. See http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/204725/ for more details.
Basically what I did was modify a few lines of code in the File Upload Class (Location: ./system/libraries/Upload.php)
1) modify Line number 1044
from:
$this->file_type = @mime_content_type($file['tmp_name']);
return;
to this:
$this->file_type = @mime_content_type($file['tmp_name']);
if (strlen($this->file_type) > 0) return;
2) modify line number 1058
from:
@exec('file --brief --mime-type ' . escapeshellarg($file['tmp_path']), $output, $return_code);
to this:
@exec('file --brief --mime-type ' . escapeshellarg($file['tmp_name']), $output, $return_code);
As you can probably see, line 1058 tries to use an array value that does not exist.
CodeIgniter: The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed. isset($this- _mimes[$ext]) is always null
I figured this out. It was because of the mimes.php file. Previously, CodeIgniter provided mimes.php with this format. $mimes = array( 'hqx' => 'application/mac-binhex40',...
. However, the current CodeIgniter changed the format as return array(
. When I updated the framework, I didn't update mimes.php file. Thank you so much Alex for providing me a hint!
'hqx' => array('application/mac-binhex40', ...
Here is the modified mimes.php.
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*

JSON Upload Codeigniter 3 The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed
making my comments an answer:
Check your server's mime types, because not all hosting providers
install all the mime types!add
text/plain
to your 'json' in application\config\mimes.php:'json' => array('application/json', 'text/json', 'text/plain'),
note: adding text/plain
also often resolves *.csv mime type issues, so keep that in mind for other applications
CodeIgniter upload txt doc - The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed
Did you check the file_type that your server is actually receiving?
var_dump($this->upload->data());
Then you can check if your mimes is really right.
hope it helps
@edit
it seems that you are trying to upload an empty file. If you need your app to accept even empty files, you can do this in mimes.php (line 'txt'):
'txt' => array('text/plain', 'application/x-empty'),
