Serving .docx files through Php
- by user275074
Hi,
I'm having issues when attempting to serve a .docx file using Php. When uploading the file I detect the file mime type and upload the file using the file with the correct extension based on the mime type; e.g. below:
application/msword - doc
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document - docx
When attempting to serve the files for download, I do the reverse in detecting the extension and serving based on the mime type e.g.
public static function fileMimeType($extention) {
if(!is_null($extention)) {
switch($extention) {
case 'txt':
return 'text/plain';
break;
case 'odt':
return 'application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text';
break;
case 'doc':
return 'application/msword';
break;
case 'docx':
return 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document';
break;
case ('jpg' || 'jpeg'):
return 'image/jpeg';
break;
case 'png':
return 'image/png';
break;
case 'pdf':
return 'application/pdf';
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
All files appear to download correctly and open fine but when attempting to open a docx file, Word (on multiple files) throws a error stating the file is corrupt.
Any ideas would be great, thanks.
