Question

I tried to upload a vcard file using codeigniter. But It’s not allowed to upload. How to upload a vcard(.vcf) file using codeigniter?

Answer 1

You’ll need to add the following to /application/config/mimes.php inside the $mimes array.

'vcf'   =>  'application/octet-stream',
'vcf'   =>  'text/x-vcard'

You’ll also need to set the allowed_types configuration variable for the upload class. An example of setting configuration variables can be found on the manual page.

$config['allowed_types'] = 'vcf';

It’d be helpful to know if other file types can be successfully uploaded using your code, see some of what you’ve tried and also to know what error, if any you’re seeing when trying to upload a vcf file.
