hello, I would like to ask you, how can I check if in file upload form is set any path to file.

I would take some condition depending on file upload form state but BEFORE! I use $this->upload->do_upload()

Note this assumes: <input type="file" name="myfile" />

Code:
if (isset($_FILES['myfile'])) {

    // do your thing here

}

Note that this does not check for valid upload etc.
