Laravel MIME issue while validating .csv file

Question

I have read couple of post regarding the issue of checking the file extension while upload a file using laravel.

I have the same issue and didn\'t file the solution

Answer 1

I faced the same issue, and even it is old I wish this will help the others. To fix it you must know what mime you got from your request, to find it use this line of code:

dd($request->file('document')->getMimeType(),$request->file('document')->getClientOriginalExtension() );

So in my case, the file that I uploaded is CSV but I got a txt file extension. So I solve it like the previous answers in this post by just adding txt to request validation:

return [
    'sheet' => "required|mimes:csv,txt",
];
