I am new to coding. I am developing a student application system. It requires uploading image and file. Now, I am trying to upload an image. I've been looking for answers here but I couldn't find one that can solve my problem. I've been debugging this for weeks. The field name for the image is 'image_input'. The file name enters the database but the image isn't uploading in the folder.
I'm using PHP version 8. I also added the multipart, made the folder under 777 permission and other solutions here but nothing worked so far. I am not using AJAX.
Controller:
if($this->session->logged_in == true){
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div >','</div>'); // optional if gusto mo ng css
$this->form_validation->set_rules('student_num', 'student number', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('first_name', 'first name', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('last_name', 'last name', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('course', 'course', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('year_level', 'year level', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('contact_num', 'contact number', 'required');
// $this->form_validation->set_rules('curriculum_eval', 'curriculum evaluation file', 'required');
// $this->form_validation->set_rules('award_applied', 'academic award', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('first_sem_gwa', 'first semester GWA', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('second_sem_gwa', 'second semester GWA', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('exception_reason', 'exception reason', 'not required');
// $this->form_validation->set_rules('image_input', 'image input', 'not required');
$image_input=$this->input->post('image_input');
$this->load->library('upload');
if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
$page = "achievers";
if(!file_exists(APPPATH.'views/userdashboard/'.$page.'.php'))
{
show_404();
}
$data['title'] = "";
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$this->load->view('userdashboard/'.$page, $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
else {
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'pdf|jpg|png';
$image_input = "image_input";
$this->load->library("upload", $config);
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload($image_input))
{
$imageError = array('imageError' => $this->upload->display_errors());
print_r($imageError);
}
else
{
$file_name = $this->upload->data('file_name');
$data = array('image_input' => $file_name);
$this->Posts_model->insert_achievers();

The error is:
Array ( [imageError] => You did not select a file to upload.
)
CodePudding user response：
See this if it helps your problem send the image using multipart form type and at the controller level use the following
if ($this->input->method(true) == 'POST') {
if (isset($_FILES['image'])) {
$config['upload_path'] = './public/uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|png|jpeg';
$config['max_size'] = 2048;
$config['file_name'] = time() . $_FILES['image']['name'];
$config['file_name'] = $this->security->sanitize_filename($config['file_name']);
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload('image')) {
return $this->output
->set_content_type('application/json')
->set_status_header(200)
->set_output(json_encode(
array(
'status' => false,
'data' => [],
'error' => $this->upload->display_errors()
)
));
}
$base = base_url('/public/uploads/');
$file_name = $base . $this->upload->data('file_name');}}

I already solved the upload problem. I added the form_open in the view page that's why I got the error even though I have the form_open_multipart. Thanks for your answers anyway!
