File upload fails with php 7.0+
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found this post on the 'Dev' site, looks like I'm not the only one having these issues

I suspected it was just some php configuration I did not have enabled, and it turns out I needed to enable the 'fileinfo' extension. Once enabled, file uploading works with php versions higher than 5.6 (I'm currently using php 7.3).
