Answer 1

First you have to use this after action attribute in form tag :
enctype='multipart/form-data'

Answer 2

You need to specify the enctype just like Aman said
<form class="user" method="post" action="<?= base_url('AdminUpdateProfile/edit/'.$user['id']); ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
your code here
</form>

Answer 3

As two of the above answers mention, first you need to add the encryption type to your form. So the end result would be:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="user" action="<?php echo base_url() . 'AdminUpdateProfile/edit/' . $user['id']; ?>">
If this still doesn't work, in my case I had to convert the $_FILES indexes to $_FILES['userfile'] because of an issue with the upload library where it had issues with indexes that weren't userfile. I basically did this:
$this->load->library('upload');
$config['upload_path'] = 'images/';
$config['file_ext_tolower'] = TRUE;
$config['allowed_types'] = '*';
$this->upload->initialize($config);
$_FILES['userfile']['name'] = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$_FILES['userfile']['type'] = $_FILES['image']['type'];
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$_FILES['userfile']['error'] = $_FILES['image']['error'];
$_FILES['userfile']['size'] = $_FILES['image']['size'];
$this->upload->do_upload();
$data = $this->upload->data();
