Image file input not being picked up in Codeigniter - php

Question

I have a web page form that needs to select image and upload to a file, but for some reasons i dont know the image is not being detected. I might be missing something. The image folder is was created in the same folder as the application and system. Find the code below
View
<div id="gallery">
<div id="upload">
<?php echo $error;?>
<?php
echo form_open_multipart('index.php/favoriteMemories/pleasurable');
echo form_upload('userfile');
echo form_submit('upload', 'Upload');
echo form_close();
?>
</div>
</div>
Controller
public function pleasurable() {
$config = array(
'upload_path' => '../images/',
'allowed_types' => 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg',
'max_size' => '1000000',
'overwrite' => TRUE,
'remove_spaces' => TRUE,
'encrypt_name' => FALSE
);
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload('userfile')) {
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('pleasurable', $error);
} else {
$this->upload->do_upload('userfile');
$this->load->view('pleasurable');
}
}

Answer 1

Make sure the following,
In your controller function you don't need to use the upload code twice.
$this->upload->do_upload('userfile');
its already in the if condition you don't need to call it in else part.
Make sure you have loaded the upload library because I didn't see that in controler function, you might load it in constructor or autoload but make sure.
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
Make sure you image folder path is correct and writable
Check the image type and size you provided in the $config array.
if you see any error message please post it for more help.all the best.

Answer 2

i have gone through your code. there is no error in ur code. accept the upload path.
if you change it to 'upload_path' => 'image/',
it will save the image in image folder located in root. just make sure the image folder is writable. you can print the upload data and change the folder accordingly.
use print_r($this->upload->data());
to check the uploaded data
