Im trying to create an advert template but can not get the photos to upload. I dont receive any errors. Ive simplified the coding so that it focuses only on the uploading of one photo, as follows;

This is the Controller coding;

PHP Code:
public function drinkadvert()
    {
    $this->load->library('image_lib');
    $this->load->helper(array('form','file'));
    $this->load->library('upload');

        $lcuser = $this->session->userdata('user_name');
        $drink = $this->input->post('dri');
        $drinkphoto = $this->input->post('drinkphoto');

        {
        $this->load->view('affairs/drinkadvert');
        }

        $config['upload_path'] = 'mem/'.$lcuser.'/adverts/'.$drink;
        $config['allowed_types'] = 'png|jpg|jpeg';

        $this->upload->initialize($config);

        if($this->upload->do_upload("$drinkphoto"))

        {
        $img = $this->upload->data();
        $drinkphoto = 'mem/'.$lcuser.'/adverts/'.$drink/$img['file_name']; //The problem may lie in the file_name but I dont know much about that.
        }
    }

public function upload_drinkphoto($str)
    {
    $allowed_mime_type_arr = array('image/png','image/jpg','image/jpeg');

    if(isset($_FILES['drinkphoto']['name']) && $_FILES['drinkphoto']['name']!="")
        {
            $mime = get_mime_by_extension($_FILES['drinkphoto']['name']);

        if(in_array($mime, $allowed_mime_type_arr))
            {
            return TRUE;
            }
            else
            {
            $this->form_validation->set_message('upload_drinkphoto', 'Upload in png/jpg/jpeg format');
            return FALSE;
            }
        }
    } 

This is the view coding.

PHP Code:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
?>
<body>

<?php echo form_open_multipart('drinkadvert'); ?>

<style type="text/css"> .drinkpic { position: fixed; width: 28%; right: 8%; top: 34%; background-color: White; } </style>
    <div class="drinkpic"> <input type="file" name="drinkphoto" id="drinkphoto" style="width: 100%; height: 5mm"; > </div>

<style type="text/css"> .sub { position: fixed; width: 5%; right: 19%; text-align: center; top: 83.5%; } </style>
    <div class="sub"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"></form></div> 

The remedy to this problem must be simple. Can anybody tell me what it is?

Try this and see if it works.

PHP Code:
$config['upload_path'] = './mem/'.$lcuser.'/adverts/'.$drink; 

Remember the path for the file has to have write access also.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Nope, that made no difference, but thanks. Im getting desperate.

You can try giving it the Absolute path or relative path.

As it is now I would try them both.

You did not mention if this was running on localhost or a live server?
Also what OS are you running?

I guess you mean "position:" in the view page. Ive had it on "fixed" but "relative" & "absolute" make no difference.

Running localhost. OS Windows. Ive tried backslash \ separator on one page a while ago & it didnt work.

The coding Ive provided, including the forward slash separators /, has worked OK on other pages.

Ive just tried;

PHP Code:
$config['upload_path'] = 'mem/'.$lcuser.$drink;
$drinkphoto = 'mem/'.$lcuser.$drink/$img['file_name']; 

And

PHP Code:
$config['upload_path'] = 'mem/'.$drink;
$drinkphoto = 'mem/'.$drink/$img['file_name']; 

But still no upload. That tells me it probably is wrong in the upload coding rather than the path.

I think I see what is wrong now in your form_open you only have the function name
it should be controller/function your missing the controller name controller/function ( method ).

I dont understand. Do you mean "public function drinkadvert()" must be the same name "drinkadvert" <?php echo form_open_multipart('drinkadvert'); ?> They are the same.

What is the name of the controller that the function is in?

PHP Code:
<?php echo form_open_multipart('controllerName/drinkadvert'); ?>

Change controllerName to the name of your controller that the drinkadvert is in.

I had the Controller name shortened by $route. But I tried it the long way & still did not upload. When that name is incorrect it gives an error but Im not getting any errors.
