Send File by Email through Form on Web Site?

Aaah OK.

Do I have to define it in the View?

Here's my Model if it helps:

Code:

function apply($slug=0){
  
    $data['page_data'] = $this->MVacancies->getVacancyItem($slug);
    $data['page_data'] or redirect('vacancies/');
    
    $data['title'] = $data['page_data']['title'];
    $data['body'] = $data['page_data']['body'];
    
    #Validations
    $rules['email'] = "required|valid_email";
    $this->validation->set_rules($rules);
    
    #Input and textarea field attributes
    $data['email'] = array('name' => 'email', 'id' => 'email');
        
    if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
        {
            $data['main'] = 'vacancies_apply';
            $this->load->vars($data);    
            $this->load->view('template');
        }
        else
        {
            $email = $this->input->post('email');
                        
            $message = "$email has applied for this job.";
            $this->email->from($email, '[email protected]');
            $this->email->to('[email protected]');
            
            $this->email->subject('Application for Job #' . $id);
            $this->email->message($message);
            
            $this->email->send();
            
            $this->load->view('form_success');
        }
    
  }

Am I on the right track from looking at the above code?

Ultimately the email input field will change to a file input field.
