I've created an upload file and it won't save in database. I created the controller and the view like codeigniter tutorial says.
I put in the config the allowed_types.
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
and it continues to show me this:
The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.
What should I do?
This is an issue that occurs in CodeIgniter 2.1.0 and PHP v5.2.x. If you downgrade back to CodeIgniter 2.0.3, the upload problem should go away.
Replace your system/libraries/Upload.php with this one:

This is a new version of the Upload class that's currently waiting to be merged - it should fix any issue that you might have with file detection on upload.
