How do I validate that a file has been selected.

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Try this:

Code:

if ( ! empty($this->upload->data('file_name')))
{
    return TRUE;
}
else
{
    return FALSE;
}

It doesn't work and this is why. I don't upload the image before checking. I check to see if the user has selected a file to upload or not. Can this not be done server side? Or do I have to reseort to some jquery to make sure the user selects an image and expect an image?
