CSV Upload - mime types - symfony1

Question

Hi I'm trying to upload a CSV file using the following form code:
$this->widgetSchema ['file'] = new sfWidgetFormInputFile();
$this->setValidator('file', new sfValidatorFile(array(
'required' => true,
'path' => sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir') . '/properties/csv',
'mime_categories' => array('csv' => array('text/csv', 'application/csv', 'application/excel', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'application/vnd.msexcel')),
'mime_types' => 'csv'
)));
In my action I have:
if($request->isMethod('post'))
{
$propertyCsvForm->bind($request->getParameter($propertyCsvForm->getName()), $request->getFiles($propertyCsvForm->getName()));
if($propertyCsvForm->isValid())
{
$this->getUser()->setFlash('success-csv', 'The CSV was successfully imported.');
} else {
$this->getUser()->setFlash('error-csv', 'The CSV could not be imported.');
}
}
When I try to upload a CSV I always get an error, which is the mime type is incorrect
Invalid mime type (text/plain).
Any ideas why?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I solved it creating a postValidator in which I get the path of the file and I do a test to check if is a csv file or not and it works fine
class sfValidatorCSV extends sfValidatorSchema
{
protected function configure($options = array(), $messages = array())
{
parent::configure($options, $messages);
}
protected function doClean($values)
{
$file = $values['file'];
if(empty($file)==false)
{
$filename = $file->getOriginalName();
$path = pathinfo($filename);
if($path['extension']!="csv")
{
throw new sfValidatorError($this, 'Invalid extension.');
}
}
}
}
And you call it at the end of your form like this:
$this->mergePostValidator(new sfValidatorCSV());
