pickupman, is correct on the windows permissions.

The error is telling you that the upload library is not loaded!

Try to autoload the library.

thanks a lot.

I've autoloaded the "upload" library and the "form" helper as your suggested but it's still not working.

The error message i'm now getting is:

Unable to find a post variable called userfile.

I even tried renaming the form file to "username" and pass it as a post variable ($_FILE['userfile']['name']) to the controller but it kept saying the same thing. I later rename it back to $data as shown in the e-book i'm using but the proble persist.


Please see my view below:


<?php

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

echo @$errors;;

echo form_open_multipart('upload/do_upload');


echo form_upload($data);


echo form_submit('mysubmit', 'Submit Post!');

echo form_close();

?>


Also see my controller code:

function do_upload()
{

if(!$this->upload->do_upload($this->userfile))
{
$errors = array('errors' => $this->upload->display_errors());


$data['menu'] = $this->my_menu;
$data['base'] = $this->base;
$data['css'] = $this->css;

$this->load->view('photo_upload_failed', $errors);
}
else
{
$data['myupload'] = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->$this->data());

$data['menu'] = $this->my_menu;
$data['base'] = $this->base;
$data['css'] = $this->css;

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


Thanks for all your help so far......but I still need more HELP to get this solved as i've done all i know to get the do_upload function to see the post variable called "userfile " but it's not just working.

Please note: I was unable to pass the errors message as a an element of the array ($data) to the view ......So i had to pass only the $errors variable to the view.

I don't know why this is so....

You are not creating your form field properly. See post #5. You will see I used:

Code:

echo '<p>'.form_label('Choose Image','userfile').'<br/>'.form_upload('userfile').'</p>';

when i used the code i was getting the error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function form_label() in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\system\application\views\photo_upload.php on line 39

so i changed it back to the previous version.

You need to at least use:

Code:

form_upload('userfile');

You can't pass $data to the form_upload() field, as you have not properly set the variable to be your input.

Thanks for all your help.....

i've amended it as you advised but the same error message is appearing.

Unable to find a post variable called userfile.


Do i need to change something in my controller or upload library?

class Upload extends Controller
{

var $base;
var $css;
var $my_menu;
var $userfile;

function Upload()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->base = $this->config->item('base_url');
$this->css = $this->config->item('css');
$this->load->library('menu');
$this->my_menu = $this->menu->show_menu();
$this->load->library('upload');
$this->load->library('session');
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->helper('url');
}


function do_upload()
{

if(!$this->upload->do_upload($this->userfile))
{
$errors = array('errors' => $this->upload->display_errors());


$data['menu'] = $this->my_menu;
$data['base'] = $this->base;
$data['css'] = $this->css;

$this->load->view('photo_upload_failed', $errors);
}
else
{
$data['myupload'] = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->$this->data());

$data['menu'] = $this->my_menu;
$data['base'] = $this->base;
$data['css'] = $this->css;

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

}

You have not set the variable $userfile in your class, constructor, or method

Code:

class Upload extends Controller
{
//Your declared variables
  function Upload()
  {
      parent::Controller();
      $this->base = $this->config->item(‘base_url’);
      $this->css = $this->config->item(‘css’);
      
      $this->userfile = 'userfile'; //Add this line

      $this->load->library(‘menu’);
      $this->my_menu = $this->menu->show_menu();
      $this->load->library(‘upload’);
      $this->load->library(‘session’);
      $this->load->helper(‘form’);
      $this->load->helper(‘url’);


  }

Also note, when posting code use the code button option at the top of the message box.
