MIME type for a .bin file

Wondering if any of the programmers here could help me determine the MIME type for an applacation to upload a bin file?

Upload to where and using what? MIME (which is primarly used for email) is pretty much opaque these days (i.e. not really exposed to end users).

It is for a Plug In for a photo gallery. I'm trying to use it to upload bin files.

Well inside a .bin file is just text correct?

It's Coppermine Gallery. I went the usual route of just adding the extention like "bin" same as you would for a picture "jpg" but for some reason it does not like it...

The program is php written and I'm wondering if it sees .bin and pulls it out? I'm familar with CGI and bin is common but no knowledge of php.

You may also need to define the MIME type in the http server settings or in php.ini on the server if you have access to that.

Thanks for the help!

But I got it dialed in.
