I have problem when i try to upload jpeg image. My configuration is :

$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';

And mimes:

'jpeg'  =>  array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),

All other formats like gif, jpg, png work fantastic, only not work when i try to upload jpeg

What can be problem? Anyone have some problem ?

Sometimes the file extension does not tell the truth. Check the real MIME type of the file. Use something like exiftool. For example: You have your_notjpg_file.jpg, but this file's mime is image/webp, then add this MIME Type to the jpg extension in config file: ./application/config/mimes.php.

'jpg'   =>  array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'image/webp'),

Or rename that file before update to the correct extension, and be sure, that this extension is in mimes.php and in your upload config:

$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png|webp';

I have had similar problem when I tried to upload some thumbnail images from Youtube. All of them were with jpg extension. As it turned out, jpg was not jpg, but webp. This worked for me.

Please try with

$config['allowed_types'] = '*'; //All Types of Images

If it is working then Please check with $_FILES for what mime type your browser read.

Same issue with file upload for .xls. Please check answer:

  • Please check with $_FILES for mime type which is your browser read and update your mimes.php file which is located in ./application/config/mimes.php – Ajay Gokhale May 10 '16 at 12:31
  • So you are telling cant upload file with virus!! Evan can upload in jpeg format too – Abdulla Nilam May 10 '16 at 12:45
  • I am not telling about virus. Please upload .jpeg file and check mime type using $_FILES. On my end Chrome, FF and Safari .jpeg file return mime type is [type] => image/jpeg – Ajay Gokhale May 11 '16 at 05:51
