Can't get information to insert into database

[eluser]mikegeorgeff[/eluser]
I have a small CMS where my customer can add products to their site. When the data gets submitted it goes to a blank screen and the information does not insert.

Model Code:

Code:

function addProduct()
    {
        $now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
        $data = array(
            'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
            'desc' => $this->input->post('desc'),
            'category_id' => $this->input->post('category_id'),
            'featured' => $this->input->post('featured'),
            'date' => $now
        );
        
        if($_FILES)
        {
            // Config the upload
            $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
            $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
            $config['max_size'] = '2048';
            $config['remove_spaces'] = TRUE;
            $config['overwrite'] = FALSE;
            
            // Do the upload
            $this->load->library('upload', $config);
            if(!$this->upload->do_upload('image'))
            {
                $this->upload->display_errors();
                exit();
            }
            
            // Create file name array for database entry
            $image_data = $this->upload->data();
            
            $this->load->library('image_lib');
            // Config image size for Prod details page
            $config['source_image'] = $image_data['full_path'];
            $config['new_image'] = './uploads/img/';
            $config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
            $config['height'] = 157;
            $config['width'] = 204;
            
            $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
            if(!$this->image_lib->resize())
            {
                $this->image_lib->display_errors();
                exit();
            }
            
            // data for database insert
            if($image_data['file_name'])
            {
                $data['image'] = 'img/'.$image_data['file_name'];
            }
            $this->image_lib->clear();
            
            // config thumbnail
            $configThumb['source_image'] = $image_data['full_path'];
            $configThumb['new_image'] = './uploads/thumbs/';
            $configThumb['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
            $configThumb['height'] = 97;
            $configThumb['width'] = 144;
            
            $this->image_lib->initialize($configThumb);
            if(!$this->image_lib->resize())
            {
                $this->image_lib->display_errors();
                exit();
            }
            
            // thumbnail data for database insert
            if($image_data['file_name'])
            {
                $data['thumbnail'] = 'thumbs/'.$image_data['file_name'];
            }    
        }    
        // insert data
        $this->db->insert('product', $data);
    }

View Code:

Code:

<?php
echo form_open_multipart('admin/create_equipment');

echo "<p><label>Name</label><br />";
$data = array('name' => 'name', 'id' => 'name', 'size' => 25);
echo form_input($data) ."</p>";

echo "<p><label>Category</label><br />";
echo form_dropdown('category_id', $categories) ."</p>";

echo "<p><label>Description</label><br />";
$data = array('name' => 'desc', 'id' => 'desc', 'rows' => 5, 'cols' => '40');
echo form_textarea($data) ."</p>";

echo "<p><label>Image</label><br />";
$data = array('name' => 'image', 'id' => 'image');
echo form_upload($data) ."</p>";

echo "<p><label>Featured?</label><br />";
$options = array('false' => 'false', 'true' => 'true');
echo form_dropdown('featured', $options) ."</p>";

echo form_submit('submit', 'Add Product');
echo form_close();

?&gt;

Controller Code:

Code:

function create_equipment()
    {
        if ($this->input->post('name'))
        {
            $this->MProducts->addProduct();
            $this->session->set_flashdata('message', 'Product Added');
            redirect('admin/equipment', 'refresh');
        }else{
            $data['title'] = 'Add Product';
            $data['main'] = 'admin/new_product';
            $data['categories'] = $this->MCats->getCategoriesDropDown();
            $this->load->view('admin/template', $data);
        }
    }

I can't see what the issue is.
