Is file selected checking - rejoan - 03-14-2015
Hi,
Is there any way to check is user browse file for upload or not? currently I am doing with this
PHP Code:
if($_FILES && $_FILES['avatar']['name']){...}
Shouldn't there is a codeigniter way to do this? this is need because when user will select file for upload then validation operation will work. i.e file upload option is optional

There is, the do_upload method on the upload class.
Code:
...
$this->upload->initialize( $config );
if ( $this->upload->do_upload( ) === true ) {
$file = $this->upload->data( );
}
else {
// file was not uploaded, errors are in $this->upload->display_errors( )
}
