Check the mimetype locally to see what it actually is
file --mime-type -b file.slave

Validation Mimes:... Issue
Afternoon All
I'm having an issue with uploading a few file types even though i have declared them as ok in the validation:-
$this->validate([
....
'file' => 'required|file|mimes:slave,bin,fpf,ori,dat,org,bak,|max:5000',
]);
But when i go to upload a .bak or .slave file it gives me a validation error of file type must be as per the list but the file type is as per the list.
Is there a better way of validating the file types with custom file types?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Legend, thanks @Sinnbeck, never used that before but worked a treat. Turns out it was a application/zip
Thanks again. :)

Hey @sinnbeck, sorry to resurrect this one, i seem to be having a weird issue where in the validation i allow for ```slave, zip`,bin`` etc but when i upload a .slave file its converting it to .zip.
The strange thing is i'm storing it with the original extension...
$fileName = $this->file->getClientOriginalName() . '.' . $this->file->getClientOriginalExtension();
How do i keep the file in its original structure without Laravel converting it to zip? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :).
Thank you in advance.

@ollie_123 not sure what you mean? It appends zip to the filename or it actually changes the content of the file?
