Please help me

Answer 1

Change:

$this->upload->do_upload()

To this:

$this->upload->do_upload('my_file_input_name')

and it will work!! :)

Answer 2

Change:

<?php echo form_open_multipart('search/post_func');?>

Answer 3

Your form type should be "multipart"
Change your form tag to:

 <?php echo form_open_multipart('search/post_func');?>

Answer 4

enctype='multipart/form-data'

you should put previous attribute in form tag

$this->upload->do_upload('file_name')

pass input tag file name to pervious line in your controller

<input type="file"   name ="file_name" >

Answer 5

example code is

    $config['upload_path'] = FCPATH.'upload/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
    $config['max_size'] = '100';
    $config['max_width']  = '1024';
    $config['max_height']  = '768';

    $this->load->library('upload');
            $this->upload->initialize($config);  

    if ( ! $this->upload-> do_upload('userfile'))
    {

                   $errors = $this->upload->display_errors();
                   $this->session->set_flashdata('error', $errors);
                       redirect('ur_link');
    }
    else
    { 
                            $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
                            $fullpath= $data['upload_data']['full_path'];
                            $file_name = $data['upload_data']['file_name'];
                    }
    }

Do this:

if(isset($_FILES['profile_pic']['name']) && !empty($_FILES['profile_pic']['name'])){

    $config['upload_path']= './assets/img/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
    $config['max_size'] = 10000;
    $config['max_width'] = 10000;
    $config['max_height'] = 10000;

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);

    if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('profile_pic'))
    {
        $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());

        print_r($error);
        exit;
    }
    else
    {
        $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());

        if(!empty($data)){

            $img1 =  $data['upload_data']['file_name'];                           

        }
    }
}

$insert_data['profile_pic'] = $img1;
