I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's

application/rtf rtf

Just try an upload of one and echo out the "type".

[PHP]<?
echo $_FILES["file"]["type"];
?>[/PHP]

Just google search for Mime types and you should find what your looking for.

Hi.

Glad you got it working.

To clarify tho, 'application/octet-stream' is usually used for binary transfers and files that do not have a Mime type.

Rich Text Format (.rtf) files, the type wordpad usually uses, should have the Mime type 'application/rtf', as Greg said.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (the extension can easily be spoofed; the MIME-type is a little bit harder...).

I need to specify the MIME type for a file to store to Content Manager. I do not want to trust the user to select the correct type. Is there an API of some sort to determine the correct MIME Type. Assumption: The user did not save a WORD file with an EXCEL extension. Thank you

This may seem like a stupid question but I want to check before I go ahead and build this... I am working on a portal, part of which allows users to upload files. Part of the array within $_FILES superglobal gives the mime type for the file. Is this 100% reliable / accurate? If the mime type says the file type is jpeg is it always right? Two reasons I want to know: 1. Certain types of files mustn't be uploaded, .exe files for example....

Hi folks I'm a bit confused with an upload script that I've written. I want to be able to check the file type of an upload by checking the mime type but I'm not getting the results that I thought I should. According to what I've read .zip files should return something like 'application/zip' or 'application/x-zip-compressed', RAR should return 'application/x-rar-compressed' but both return 'application/octet-stream'. I'm getting the...

Thanks in advance for everyone's help... My problem is that more often than I would like, I get attachments that for some reason or another do not include an extension. What I want to do is create a C# app that based on a file on my hard drive that I specify, will spit back to me the mime type. I can do the rest from there. I have looked, and looked and looked a little more for a way to determine the type of a file that does not rely...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
