Change code in the Controller File as Folow:
public function do_upload()
{
$id = $this->session->userdata('id');
$this->load->model('Model_doc');
$config['upload_path'] = './upload/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'docx';
$config['max_size'] = 1000;
$config['max_width'] = 1024;
$config['max_height'] = 768;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->do_upload();
$full_file_path = base_url()."/upload/".$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
//This Is Full Path of the file stored to your folder,Change it if required.
$this->Model_doc->index($id,$full_file_path);
}
Changes in the Model File:
public function index($id,$full_file_path)
{
$data = array(
'path'=>$full_file_path,
);
$this->db->set('curentDate', 'NOW()', FALSE);
$this->db->insert('test',$data);
}
