Allow audio upload from iPhone was created by Jmantysalo

I want iPhone users to allow upload a recorder audio file. At first I got error about m4a extension not allowed. Then I addedd m4a as file type, and now the error is "Sorry, unable to check extension of this file type audio/x-m4a."

I am using LimeSurvey Community Edition Versio 6.16.13+260316. My config.php does not contain magic_database -setting. I think that PHP is quite normal too, no changes on mime magic. OTOH when testing with file-command I get "ISO Media, Apple iTunes ALAC/AAC-LC (.M4A) Audio" from the .m4a file as I guess it should be.

Problem is on application/controllers/UploaderController.php line

$extByMimeType = LSFileHelper::getExtensionByMimeType($_FILES, null);

At least Yii::app()->getConfig('magic_file') is empty at application/core/LSFileHelper.php but I do not know if it should be.

In config.php you can add any filetype you want

1. Update config.php :

Code:

,        // Update default LimeSurvey config here
        'magic_file' => ROOT . '/application/config/magic_file.php',

2. create magic_file.php and put it in application/config/ (or elsewhere)

Code:

<?php
return array_merge(
    require('../core/utilsfileExtensions.php'), // Limesurcey framework
    array(
        'audio/x-m4a' => 'm4a'
    )
);

PS : and report the issue to add it in core.

FYI this was resolved on bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=20476

The patch is oneliner; however, I don't see where one should have guessed 'audio/x-m4a'.
