Upload Model issues. - miiikkeyyyy - 03-01-2015
I am creating an upload script for my signed in users.
Libraries included: form, upload and image_lib.
From the controller I want to call upon the add image function, from the user model.
From the user model I want it to attempt to upload the file using the upload model.
And once the upload is complete I want the user model to create the thumbnails and add to database.
I get a dreaded The upload path does not appear to be valid. every single time.
I know the path works as I wrote echo $config['upload_path'] and copied the result in my browser and it took me to the directory.
Could someone shed some light on why I always get the error?
In my controller/profile.php I have:
PHP Code:
if($this->input->post())
{
if(!$this->user_model->add_image())
{
$data['errors'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
}
}
In my models/user_model.php I have:
PHP Code:
function add_image()
{
$config['upload_path'] = './public/images/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
if($this->upload_model->upload($config))
{
$data = $this->upload->data();
$config = array(
'user_id' => $this->session->userdata('user_id'),
'file_name' => $data['file_name']
);
$this->db->insert('user_images', $config);
$this->load->library('image_lib');
createThumbnail($data, "small", 60, 60);
createThumbnail($data, "medium", 200, 200);
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
In my models/upload_model.php I have:
PHP Code:
function upload($config)
{
if(!file_exists($config['upload_path']))
{
mkdir($config['upload_path'], 0777, true);
}
if($this->upload->do_upload())
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
RE: Upload Model issues. - mwhitney - 03-05-2015
In models/upload_model.php, before:
PHP Code:
if ($this->upload->do_upload())
you probably need to add:
PHP Code:
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
Otherwise, wherever you're loading the upload library is where you're getting the $config values, so your upload path is probably set to a default value rather than the $config value you're passing to your model.
