MS Word 2007 .DOCX MIME TYPE

Tag: Tech Stuff — Matthew Moeller @ 2:37 pm

Ever searched around looking for the mime-type for the newer Microsoft Word .docx file type?  Search no more. It comes in handy for web development when you have an uploader app in PHP or ASP and need to determine the file type. Tested in PHP and works perfect. Hope this saves someone some time searching.

.docx
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

.doc (old school word)
application/msword

    This saved me from a huge crisis as students were uploading and I had not controlled for docx in my php app. I plunked this in and you saved my day!

    Many, many thanks,

    Henry
