Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a CV upload tool...

function UploadCV() {
            // Create fields          
            $fields = new FieldSet(
                new TextField('Name', 'Name'),
                new EmailField('Email', 'Email'),
                new TextField('Telephone','Telephone / Mobile'),
                new FileField('CVUpload', 'CV Attachment')
            
            );

            // Create action
            $actions = new FieldSet(
                new FormAction('SendContactForm', 'UPLOAD & SEND')
            );

            // Create Validators
            $validator = new RequiredFields('Name', 'Email', 'Telephone');

            return new Form($this, 'UploadCV', $fields, $actions, $validator);
        }
        
        function SendContactForm($data, $form) {
   
            //Set data
            $From = $data['Email'];
            $To = "lawrence@newedge.co.uk";
            $Subject = "CV Upload Submission";     
            $email = new Email($From, $To, $Subject);
            //set template
            $email->setTemplate('CvUpload');
            //populate template
            $email->populateTemplate($data);
            //attach upload
            if (isset($_FILES["CVUpload"]) && is_uploaded_file($_FILES["CVUpload"]["tmp_name"])) {
                $email->attachFile($_FILES["CVUpload"]["tmp_name"], $_FILES["CVUpload"]["name"]);
            }
            //send mail
            $email->send();
            //return to submitted message
            Director::redirect($this->Link("?success=1"));
        }

        public function Success()
        {
            return isset($_REQUEST['success']) && $_REQUEST['success'] == "1";
        }

However when I select a .docx file I get this error....


[Notice] Undefined index: docx

that is because when using attachFile you are not specficy the 3rd argument of the mime type and silverstripe doesn't have access to an entry for docx

$ext = //get file extenstion
if ($ext == 'docx') {
	$filetype = 'application/msword';
}
else {
	$filetype = HTTP::getMimeType($filename);
}
$email->attachFile($filename,$filename, $filetype);

Actually the true source of the problem, that can be fixed without any hacks to the core, is by updating your /etc/mime.types file.

If you open that you'll probably see:

application/msword                     doc

You just need to add docx next to doc, like so:

application/msword                     doc docx

Then restart Apache.

HI everyone

A few months later and I am now getting this error for PDFs??

I have tried


if ($ext == 'docx') { 
                           $filetype = 'application/msword'; 
                        } 
                        else if ($ext == 'pdf') {
                            $filetype = 'application/pdf'; 
                        } else { 
                           $filetype = HTTP::getMimeType($_FILES["CVAttchment"]["tmp_name"]); 
                        } 

But its not working?
