Uploading a csv into Codeigniter

Question

Has anyone else had trouble uploading a csv file into Codeigniter? I\'m getting a pretty annoying \"The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.\" error, even t

Answer 1

first in allowed types just type 'csv'

 $config['allowed_types'] = 'csv';
 $this->load->library('upload', $config);

second go to /config/mimes.php and change the 'csv' array element as follows:

 'csv' => array(
    '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',
    'text/plain'
 ),
