    Creating the Upload Form

    Using a text editor, create a form called upload_form.php. In it, place this code and
    save it to your application/views/ directory:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Upload Form</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <?php echo $error;?>

    <?php echo form_open_multipart('upload/do_upload');?>

    <input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" />

    <br /><br />

    <input type="submit" value="upload" />

    </form>

    </body>
    </html>

    You’ll notice we are using a form helper to create the opening form tag. File uploads
    require a multipart form, so the helper creates the proper syntax for you. You’ll also
    notice we have an $error variable. This is so we can show error messages in the
    event the user does something wrong.

    The Success Page

    Using a text editor, create a form called upload_success.php. In it, place this code
    and save it to your application/views/ directory:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Upload Form</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <h3>Your file was successfully uploaded!</h3>

    <ul>
    <?php foreach ($upload_data as $item => $value):?>
    <li><?php echo $item;?>: <?php echo $value;?></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>

    <p><?php echo anchor('upload', 'Upload Another File!'); ?></p>

    </body>
    </html>
    The Controller

    Using a text editor, create a controller called Upload.php. In it, place this code and
    save it to your application/controllers/ directory:

    <?php

    class Upload extends CI_Controller {

    public function __construct()


    {
    parent::__construct();
    $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
    }

    public function index()


    {
    $this->load->view('upload_form', array('error' => ' ' ));
    }

    public function do_upload()


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

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

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

    $this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
    }
    else
    {
    $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());

    $this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
    }
    }
    }
    ?>

    The Upload Directory

    You’ll need a destination directory for your uploaded images. Create a directory at
    the root of your CodeIgniter installation called uploads and set its file permissions to
    777.

    Try it!

    To try your form, visit your site using a URL similar to this one:

    example.com/index.php/upload/
    You should see an upload form. Try uploading an image file (either a jpg, gif, or png).
    If the path in your controller is correct it should work.
