Uploading a file - El Forum - 03-17-2009

Hi Everyone,
Could you please help me with this?
I'm using the file uploading class to upload a file:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/file_uploading.html
However, it tries to upload a file even if I don't actually choose anything. This is particularly annoying when I'm trying to update a form which has the option to update an image.
If I'm using the following input in my form,
<input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" />
How do I check if a file has actually been chosen or not? I've tried the following statement and it does not work.
$filename = $this->input->post('userfile');

Hi,
Uploads are stored in $_FILES rather $_POST, hence not showing up in $this->input->post('fieldname')
Try
Code:
if($_FILES)
{
// manage uploaded file(s) here
}
else
{
// no files uploaded
}There may be a better way of doing it, though this works for me...
