Answer 1

You can do this many ways
Via codeigniter 3.x
then first load form validation library in controller function and set rules and place holder for showing errors in view file. See for reference
https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/libraries/form_validation.html#the-controller
https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/libraries/form_validation.html#showing-errors-individually
Via HTML
You can simply do this by adding required attribute to all html elements which are required, browser will show warning automatically after clicking on submit button for required fields. see example for input html element
<input type="text" name="nama_pelapor" required class="form-control">
See for dropdown
<select class="form-control" required name="jenis_laporan">
<option>Penemuan hewan</option>
<option>Kehilangan Hewan</option>
</select>
Via Jquery
If you want to customize error messages then you do this via your own code in jquery or jquery validator library. See this documentation for jquery validation
https://jqueryvalidation.org/validate/

Comparison operator should be double == not single =. Edit your line of code to this.
if ($gambar =='') {} else{
