The upload files in documents and company logo fails as mime_content_type deprecated

You can upload files in documents and change company logo only if you are using php 5.5

In case you use php 5.4 “in my case v5.4.45” you will get this error Fatal error: Call to undefined function mime_content_type() in /home/vtigerdemo/public_html/vtigerdemo/modules/Settings/Vtiger/actions/CompanyDetailsSave.php on line 31

mime_content_type: This function has been deprecated as the PECL extension Fileinfo provides the same functionality (and more) in a much cleaner way. http://php.net/manual/en/function.mime-content-type.php

Milestone changed to 6.5.0

Added ~17 suggestion labels

I use with php 5.5 but i still take same error. It redirects the page to index.php

@serdalkepil Can you please turn on the error_reporting and capture more information?

@prasad i am new to vtiger and php, how can i turn on it. I tried something but i could not success. :) I also reinstalled software but still same error exists.

@serdalkepil

Step 1: Ensure your php.ini is enabled with error_log and display_errors option.

Step 2: Edit config.inc.php - uncomment the line having marker // DEBUGGING (which configures error_reporting level)

Step 3: Now perform the action on Vtiger and report any log traces.

@prasad

Edit company logo

Upload file in documents module

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mime_content_type() in /home/vtiger/public_html/data/CRMEntity.php on line 142

Uploading image in Products Module

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mime_content_type() in /home/vtiger/public_html/data/CRMEntity.php on line 142

Workaround to make use of fileinfo extension API when mime_magic extension API (mime_content_type is not available).

Step 1: Add this to - include/utils/VtlibUtils.php

function vtlib_mime_content_type($filename) {

	$type = null;
	if (function_exists('mime_content_type')) {
		$type = mime_content_type($filename);
		
	} else if (function_exists('finfo_open')) {
		$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
		$type = finfo_file($finfo, $filename);
		finfo_close($finfo);
		
	} else {
		throw new Exception('mime_magic or fileinfo extension required.');
	}
	
	return $type;
}

Step 2: Replace mime_content_type to vtlib_mime_content_type in - modules/Settings/Vtiger/actions/CompanyDetailsSave.php

Step 2: Replace mime_content_type to vtlib_mime_content_type in - modules/Settings/Vtiger/actions/CompanyDetailsSave.php

AND

Step 3: Replace mime_content_type to vtlib_mime_content_type in - data/CRMEntity.php

AND

Step 4: Replace mime_content_type to vtlib_mime_content_type in - vtlib/Vtiger/Functions.php

@manuelgit - can you confirm it works?

@prasad

Yes it works ok.

Thank you. Refactored fix committed f54a01e0

Status changed to closed

mentioned in issue #14 (closed)

at least in my system it requires the installation of the PHP Fileinfo extension/library

Even with your proposed changes, I cannot upload a picture to contacts or products

@robert.heinze - the information you have shared is not adequate.

What error do you notice - make sure you have enable DEBUGGING error_reporting in the configuration file.

@prasad - I am trying to upload a jpg into products

and the result is: var/www/vhosts/CRM-Directory/vtlib/Vtiger/Functions.php on line 595, referer: http://CRM-Directory/index.php?module=Products&view=Edit&record=40 [Sat Oct 24 21:06:41 2015] [warn] [client 88.116.96.70] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: file_get_contents(/tmp/phpA73489): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/CRM-Directory/vtlib/Vtiger/Functions.php on line 602, referer: http://CRM-Directory/index.php?module=Products&view=Edit&record=40

@robert.heinze - file upload could have failed. Can you log the details to see more details before line 595 (error_log(var_export($file_details, true));)?

@prasad - I took the validateImage function out of Functions.php V6.3 and now it works for me, even when the problem in V6.4 still exists ...
