allowing more file extensions

[droidus]

where can i find the file extensions, and mimetypes?  also, how would i allow all types of file downloads?  what would be the cons of allowing all types of file downloads?

You might want to tell us what application your talking about.

when downloading files, here is the allowed extensions:

 

$allowed_ext = array (

  // archives
  'zip' => 'application/zip',

  // documents
  'pdf' => 'application/pdf',
  'doc' => 'application/msword',
  'xls' => 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
  'ppt' => 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
  
  // executables
  'exe' => 'application/octet-stream',

  // images
  'gif' => 'image/gif',
  'png' => 'image/png',
  'jpg' => 'image/jpeg',
  'jpeg' => 'image/jpeg',

  // audio
  'mp3' => 'audio/mpeg',
  'wav' => 'audio/x-wav',

  // video
  'mpeg' => 'video/mpeg',
  'mpg' => 'video/mpeg',
  'mpe' => 'video/mpeg',
  'mov' => 'video/quicktime',
  'avi' => 'video/x-msvideo'
);

 

how do i find other extensions, such as .doc, .docx, .mp4, and so on? 

 

and would it be smart to allow ALL types of downloads?
