If you add debug to your page, what does it output after you submit the form?

I get this:

Array

(

    [cv] => filetype

)


SELECT regionKey, regionHTML FROM perch2_content_regions 
WHERE regionPage='/careers/index.php' OR regionPage='*' ORDER BY regionPage DESC
SELECT regionID, regionTemplate, regionPage, regionRev AS rev FROM perch2_content_regions WHERE regionKey='Careers' AND (regionPage='/careers/index.php' OR regionPage='*')
SELECT * FROM ( SELECT idx.itemID, c.regionID, idx.pageID, c.itemJSON, idx2.indexValue as sortval FROM perch2_content_index idx 
JOIN perch2_content_items c ON idx.itemID=c.itemID AND idx.itemRev=c.itemRev AND idx.regionID=c.regionID
JOIN perch2_content_index idx2 ON idx.itemID=idx2.itemID AND idx.itemRev=idx2.itemRev AND idx2.indexKey='_order' WHERE ((idx.regionID='45' AND idx.itemRev='1')) AND idx.itemID=idx2.itemID AND idx.itemRev=idx2.itemRev
) as tbl GROUP BY itemID ORDER BY sortval ASC

When I remove the CV field, The form submits no problem. So must be a file upload issue.

I managed to get this working by changing the following:

Instead of using <?php perch_content('Job Applications'); ?> I used the following <?php perch_form('job_applications.html'); ?>

Created a forms folder inside templates and added the job_applications.html file in the forms folder.

Then instead of adding a content tag for a thankyou message I added it as text

<perch:success>
        <p>Thankyou for applying for one of Jobs here at Shooters Sports bar, your application has been submitted. We will reply to you as soon as possible.</p>
    </perch:success>

This now works. Strange why it didnt work the other way.

You've set accept="pdf doc" - have you defined those in your filetypes.ini file?

I haven't done this. I thought this was done automatically.

That's why you're getting the validation failure.
