Upload Image

[eluser]Zimooon[/eluser]
Hey guys,

Big problem . I need help .. and at the best very fast.

I work on a forum to learn CI better.
Now i want the user of the forum to have to possibilty to upload images.
Ok now the problem:
When i let him upload the image , every other input he did before (f.e. in textarea) is gone AND how can i display the uploaded image immediadetly after uploading?

I don't want you to code it just some infos how to do that.

my ideas so far:

write the upload image to a db and call this db. after calling and saving it delete the db entry. But how to get the image to the textarea view without deleting all the stuff written

upload in a popup?

Please help
