andrew valums ajax upload to codeigniter

[eluser]mabright[/eluser]
seibelj, I am trying to get my upload working based on you instructions. I am receiving a "Failed" message. I select a file, I see the loading image and the file name and size, then "Failed".

Controller

Code:

public function upload()
{
  $this->load->library('qquploadedfilexhr');
  
  // list of valid extensions, ex. array("jpeg", "xml", "bmp")
  $allowedExtensions = array('jpg','bmp','png','gif');
  // max file size in bytes
  $sizeLimit = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
  
  $uploader = new qqFileUploader($allowedExtensions, $sizeLimit);
  $result = $uploader->handleUpload('../../img/uploads');
  
  // to pass data through iframe you will need to encode all html tags
  echo htmlspecialchars(json_encode($result), ENT_NOQUOTES);
}

upload.js

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {
        var uploader = new qq.FileUploader({
            // pass the dom node (ex. $(selector)[0] for jQuery users)
            element: document.getElementById('file-uploader'),
            // path to server-side upload script
            action: 'http://www.mysite.com/ajax/upload'
        });
    });

View

Code:

<div id="file-uploader">
       &lt;?php
        echo (isset($error))? $error : '';
        $attributes = array('id' => 'imageform');
        echo form_open_multipart('ajax/upload', $attributes);
       ?&gt;
       <p><strong>Upload a Picture</strong></p>
       &lt;input type="file" name="photoimg" id="photoimg" size="25"/&gt;&lt;br>
       &lt;/form&gt;
      </div>
