Uploading File - davy_yg - 07-16-2016
Hello,
I am trying to upload some file but have not been successful yet doing this.
This my upload CI codes. My target extension is JPG/GIF
controllers/uploadfile.php
PHP Code:
<?php
class uploadfile extends CI_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
}
//index function
function index()
{
//load file upload form
$this->load->view('upload_file_view');
}
//file upload function
function upload()
{
//set preferences
$config['upload_path'] = 'uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'txt|pdf';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
//load upload class library
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload('filename'))
{
// case - failure
$upload_error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('upload_file_view', $upload_error);
}
else
{
// case - success
$upload_data = $this->upload->data();
$data['success_msg'] = '<div class="alert alert-success text-center">Your file <strong>' . $upload_data['file_name'] . '</strong> was successfully uploaded!</div>';
$this->load->view('upload_file_view', $data);
}
}
}
?>views/upload_file_view.php
PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<!-- load bootstrap css file -->

<div class="form-group">

</fieldset>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
<?php if (isset($success_msg)) { echo $success_msg; } ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is the view:
CodeIgniter File Upload Demo
Select File to Upload
[ Browse ]
The upload path does not appear to be valid.
[ Upload File ]
When I try to upload JPG/GIF nothing happens, it only loads nothing. With this error message:
The upload path does not appear to be valid.
----------------------------------
controllers/uploadfile.php
PHP Code:
function upload()
{
//set preferences
$config['upload_path'] = 'uploads/';
controllers/uploads/
(uploads folder address)
How to fix the error?
RE: Uploading File - ciadmin - 07-16-2016
If you use a relative upload file path, as you have, it is relative to the location of your index.php front controller.
That means that the library will be looking for PROJECT/uploads with your configuration, and *not* for PROJECT/application/controllers/uploads.
