CodeIgniter Uploadify problem

2012-01-01

I tried to implement Uploadify with CodeIgniter upload class , and had some issues with recognising proper mime types.

First issue was solved by extending

application/config/mimes.php with code:

'gif'	=>	array('image/gif','application/octet-stream'),
'jpeg'	=>	array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'application/octet-stream'),
'jpg'	=>	array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'application/octet-stream'),
'jpe'	=>	array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'application/octet-stream'),
'png'	=>	array('image/png',  'image/x-png', 'application/octet-stream'),

You also need to extend Upload.php by uploading this extension:
MY_Upload.php
to application/libraries

Result from controller should look like this

if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('Filedata')) {
                $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
        } else {
                $data = $this->upload->data();
        }

$return = array('name' => $data['file_name'],
                'size' => round($data['file_size'] * 100),
                'type' => $data['file_type']);

echo json_encode(array('Filedata' => $return));
