The CodeIgniter User Guide shows how to do this.
Do this, otherwise go by the User Guide and start over.
PHP Code:
// change this
public function drinkadvert()
// to this
public function do_upload()

Change controllerName to the name of your controller that the drinkadvert is in.
Ive found what I think was an error. The working page that has these functions have the following variable with a different name;
PHP Code:
$drinkphoto = 'mem/'.$lcuser.'/adverts/'.$drink/$img['file_name'];
$drinkpic = 'mem/'.$lcuser.'/adverts/'.$drink/$img['file_name'];
if(isset($_FILES['drinkphoto']['name']) && $_FILES['drinkphoto']['name']!="")
if(isset($_FILES['drinkpic']['name']) && $_FILES['drinkpic']['name']!="")
$mime = get_mime_by_extension($_FILES['drinkphoto']['name']);
$mime = get_mime_by_extension($_FILES['drinkpic']['name']);
But that did not solve my problem. However, it may lead to a resolution.

I also had a similar situation
RE: Cant get photo to upload. - christaliise - 11-16-2020
Ive found the root of my problem but not solved it.
I am able to upload fwrite data then redirect to photos upload, but the problem with that is if the $product name is omitted or different the fwrite & photos are not together, and that is unsatisfactory. I would prefer to have both in the same operation but that is impossible. The root of that problem is in the view page where the fwrite requires the first coding & the photo upload requires the second, and they are not interchangeable.
PHP Code:
<?php echo form_open('pagename'); ?>
<?php echo form_open_multipart('pagename'); ?>If the $product variable in the fwrite can be transferred to the photos upload, then that could be lived with, but redirect to the finished advert will be required.
I would prefer when the photos are uploaded then to redirect to the finished advert, but that is impossible because the photos upload will not redirect. Although I have another operation with a small amount of fwrite plus a pdf document upload and that redirects with no problem.
I have spent the last 4 months trying to resolve this issue, probably spent 1,000 hours plus, and still havent achieved a resolution.
By the way the coding in the UserGuide detailing uploads is faulty, by undefined variables, but when those variables are deleted it works but not with a combination of fwrite & photo uploads.
The problem appears to be a fault within CodeIgniter, so there needs to be someone who understands their coding & be able to fix the problem.

Ive found the problem. When uploading data with photos you must keep separate in form_validation the data from photos. Just make two separate form_validations.
