Upload File Problem

I didn't test this but you could try

Code:

// in the validation part of your code:

// this one doesn't make sense
// the rules or only for form elements which are in the $_POST array
// your file is send in the $_FILE array
$this->form_validation->set_rules('filename', 'File', 'trim');// comment out this line



// later on this part should look like:

// ... other code here

if (!$this->upload->do_upload('filename'))
{
    echo $this->upload->display_errors();
}
else
{
    // $this->upload->do_upload(); // you don't need that one
    
    $data = $this->upload->data();
    
    $filename = $data['file_name'];
    
    $filestable= array(
        'userid' => $userid['userid'],
        'filename' => $filename,
        'fileowner' => $userfullname,
        'fileyear' => $fileyear,
        'filemonth'=>$filemonth,
        'fileday'=>$fileday
    );
    
    $this->Model_files->upload_files($filestable);
    redirect('files/upload');
}

Hope that helps
