Hi to all,

I've been exploring more in CI framework community and i've bumped into this: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ading.html. Its about uploading an image.

Here is my help question how can i save the image file_name in the db. Could anyone show me the light? huhu. Cant figure out how can i call the file_name and insert it to the table field. Do i need to create a model in this?

Code:
&lt;?php 

    class Upload_model extends Model {

        function Upload_model()

        {

            parent::Model();

        }

.......................

.....??

Thanks

U should rename the file, Because there ll be a mistake with same file names.. So u shd do like
17_thumb.jpg.where 17 is the user id who uploads the image.Thumb is the size

i'll post the controller & view for quick response to all.

controller

Code:
&lt;?php

at_reports.php

class At_reports extends Controller {

    function At_reports()

    {

        parent::Controller();

        $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));

    }

    function index()

    {    

        $config['upload_path'] = './reports/module/';

        $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';

        $config['max_size']    = '100';

        $config['max_width']  = '1024';

        $config['max_height']  = '768';

        $this->load->library('upload', $config);

        if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())

        {

            $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());

            $this->load->view('upload_form', $error);

        }    

        else

        {

            $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());

            $this->load->view('upload_success', $data);

        }

    }

}

?&gt;

View
upload_form.php

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;Upload Form&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php echo $error;?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_open_multipart('at_reports');?&gt;

&lt;input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" /&gt;

<br /><br />

&lt;input type="submit" value="upload" /&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Code:
if (!$this->upload->do_upload('upload_file')){

    echo $this->upload->display_errors();

}

else{

    $file_data = $this->upload->data();

    $file_name = $file_data['file_name']; //example: image.jpg

}
