@Toto – I’m not sure which version you are using of CI, but those line numbers don’t work in CI 1.7.2. Also, it’s not recommended to modify core libraries since you would have to redo the fix if you upgrade to the next version of CI.

Solution is not hard like this.

go to system\libraries\upload.php

go to upload function and then find line 368-398 delete it out and then save

done.
after that u can upload all xxxx file u want

Thanks for the tip mzalazar, about changing the order of the allowed_types list, that’s very weird, but it now accepts my non-image formats for upload.

One workaround to this BUG is to set the non-image filetypes in front of the allowed_types config setting. That way, you can use CI without patching it, because the non-image file types are checked first, before the image-check is done.

E.g.
In stead of setting this:
$config[‘allowed_types’] = ‘jpg|png|pdf|zip’;

You can use this:
$config[‘allowed_types’] = ‘pdf|zip|jpg|png’;
