Codeigniter form validation for file - DennisSSebasiStephen - 08-02-2022
I'm using codeigniter for my project and I need to read contents of files. So,I need validation to check whether the file is selected or not.
Here is my code in controller
$this->form_validation->set_rules(
'estimation_file',
'Project Estimation File',
'required'
);
But while choosing a file it shows error saying - The Project Estimation File field is required

Need more information.
Have you set the correct form format? enctype='multipart/form-data'
Perhaps required is not suitable for file validation, use 'uploaded'
