Optional file upload - El Forum - 06-18-2009

I have a form where there are two input field, and a file upload field. How can I make this file upload field optional ? user can provide file or not because when I use file upload class, It always return "You did not select a file to upload."
First, I try this code :
Code:
if( isset ($_FILES['photo']) ){
if( !$this->upload->do_upload('photo')){
$upload_error = $this->upload->display_errors();
}else{
$photo = $this->upload->data();
}
}It doesn't work, return same error message.

Code:
if($_FILES AND isset($_FILES['field_name']['name'])) ){
if( !$this->upload->do_upload('photo')){
$upload_error = $this->upload->display_errors();
}else{
$photo = $this->upload->data();
}
}Please try this.

Sorry.
What happens when you choose a file to upload?
What happens when you do not choose a file to upload?

both return "You did not select a file to upload."
Now I'm wondering if the mistake is on my script. But everything fine when I remove the code and file upload file from the form .

Make sure your form comes with multipart/form-data attribute.

your right but your code suggests that it should not pass the first if statement
have you tried
Code:
if ($_FILES['photo']['name']!="") {
if( !$this->upload->do_upload('photo')){
$upload_error = $this->upload->display_errors();
}else{
$photo = $this->upload->data();
}
};that way you can keep the display errors in if the upload fails when there is a file to upload.
