$_FILES Array getting empty when using $this->form_validation->run()

Hello Everybody,

I have a controller called Home.php & I have method called addProperty() here process the image upload. But the problem is when i use the image upload code after $this->form_validation->run() , its not working.

But without $this->form_validation->run() , the image upload working. When i use the image upload code after the $this->form_validation->run() the image is not getting uploaded.

PHP Code:

   function addProperty()
    {




          $this->load->library('form_validation');

           //$this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_title','Villa Title','trim|required|max_length[128]');
          // $this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_status','Status','trim|required');
           //$this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_type','Type','trim|required');
           //$this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_price','Price','trim|required|numeric');
           //$this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_sqft','Sqft','trim|required|numeric');
           $this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_rooms','Rooms','trim|required|numeric');
           $this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_address','Address','trim|required|max_length[200]');
           $this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_owner_phone','Mobile Number','required|min_length[10]');
           $this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_owner_name','Owner Name','required|min_length[5]');
           $this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_owner_email','Owner Email','required|valid_email');
           //$this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_detailed_info','Detailed Info','trim|required|max_length[2000]');
           //$this->form_validation->set_rules('prop_status','Current Status','trim|required');
