I cant reach the post value - El Forum - 02-22-2011

Hi,
I am submitting the form as you see in the below. It works for image uploading but I need to get userfile to create an url to add it to the database. But returns nothing when I write
$this->input->post('userfile');
Why I cant reach the value of userfile ? or does it become empty before I reach it ?
Code:
<form action="http://localhost/adminpanel/admin/addreferans" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="userfile" value="" />
<input type="submit" name="upload" value="Yükle" />
</form>Thanks in advance,

Maybe it needs something in the value field.

Filename is not in the $_POST array. Its in the $_FILES array and thats why it cant be found in post.
If you use the File uploading class, you can use $this->upload->data() to get the information. Read more in the link to userguide.
If you dont use file uploading class, you can get the filename using:
Code:
$fname = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];I cant reach the post value - El Forum - 02-22-2011

I am using File uploading class. Thanks for your informative reply, Cahva. Thats what I needed. I have missed that part. Probably I should read more to userguide. Also thank you InsiteFX.
