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...).
