Zend_Form - could not find the mimetype of the file 'foto.jpg'

I have a Zend_Form with a file like:

->addElement('file', 'image', array( 'required' => false, 'label' => 'Venue Image', 'validators' => array( array('IsImage', false), array('Size', false, '2097152'), array('Upload', false), ), ))

And when I use localhost, the image loads successfully. But when I switch to my hosting, a validation error is displayed for the image field. The mimetic of the file 'foto.jpg' could not be detected. What could be the reason for this?

The same thing happened to me, it was crazy, more than 2 hours, trying to understand what happened, here's how to fix it:

install the fileinfo extension in linux:

pecl install fileinfo

then you need to add this line to your php.ini:

extension = fileinfo.so

restart your apache and you're done!

* If you are using FreeBSD, you must do this:

cd / usr / ports / sysutils / pecl-fileinfo / make install

If you use XAMPP and localhost, just open the php.ini file and uncomment:

extension = php_fileinfo.dll

From the comments in the ZF Reference Guide :

In order to get IsImage to work (and possibly all other mime-related validators) on Zend Server on win32, I had to replace "magic.mime" supplied on Zend Server ("\ etc") with the one on Apache ( "\ conf", the file is called "magic") (do not forget to restart Apache).

If it still does not work, you can try with these alternatives:

  • $element->addValidator('Mimetype', false, 'image/jpg');

or

  • $element->addValidator('Extension', false, 'jpg');
