file upload not working - El Forum - 04-29-2009
[eluser]learning_php[/eluser]
Hi,
I am trying to get a file upload working but it keeps telling me that the file path is not valid. I a have folder called upload with full permissions so i am a little stuck.
Code:
function upload(){
//$cong setting
$config['upload_path'] = './wedding-site/assets/upload';
$config['allowed_types']='png|jpg|gif';
$config['max_size']= '20000';
//upload file
$this->load->library('upload',$config);
if($this->upload->do_upload()){
$data['upload_data'] = $this->upload->data();
}
else{
$data['error'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
}
$this->load->view('upload',$data);

I think you need the forward slash on the end of your upload path

I changed it to this but i get the same error:
Code:
$config['upload_path'] = './wedding-site/assets/upload/';file upload not working - El Forum - 04-29-2009

Oh
I just saw the page in the user guide had a forward slash and you didn't so assumed that was it
Is the invalid path a PHP error, or one produced by CI (when you reload the upload view)

It happens with I load the upload.php view page which only contains the code to either print the error or redirect to another page.
Code:
<?PHP
if(isset($error)){
echo $error;
}else{
redirect('images');
}

Try using the file helper to write a file (some random text) to you upload directory, see if that works...
That might give a clue as to where the problem lies

Hi,
i added to the upload view:
Code:
<?PHP
if(isset($error)){
echo $error;
}else{
redirect('images');
}
$data = 'Some file data';
if ( ! write_file('./wedding-site/assets/upload/', $data))
{
echo 'Unable to write the file';
}
else
{
echo 'File written!';
}
?>and now it displays The upload path does not appear to be valid.
Unable to write the file

Have you tried giving it an absolute file system path, instead of one relative to index.php

Code:
$data = 'Some file data';
if ( ! write_file('C:/xampp/htdocs/wedding-site/assets/upload/file.txt', $data))
{
echo 'Unable to write the file';
}
else
{
echo 'File written!';

$config['upload_path'] = './assets/upload';
