Hi there,
I've searched the forum and tried to find some info on StackOverflow - but I might not be understanding things correctly.
I have successfully been able to upload files to my server and insert the file path to my my database using The File Uploader Library from the User Guide.
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ading.html
I'm using Ion Auth for my User Management (thanks for all your help Ben!) so I can also successfully insert the ID of the user that just uploaded the file into the Database.
But I can't figure out how to overwrite the existing file path once the user has uploaded another one.
Basically I'm just trying to build out a User Profile Image upload form - so I might be doing this all completely backward - but learning a lot in the process - so all good.
Here is my do_load function from the user guide mixed in with some Ion Auth code - the file is uploading ok - Im getting a success confirmation and the path is getting written to my database table - I now need to be able to tell if the user already has a profile image and over-write the existing one with a newly uploaded one - let know if any one needs to see any other code from me.
Thanks!

Code:
function do_upload()

//$user_id = $this->ion_auth->user()->row('id');
//$user = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();
//echo $user->id;

$config['upload_path'] = './gs-assets/uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|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
{
$image_data = $this->upload->data();
$insert_data = array(
//'id' => $this->ion_auth->user()->row('id'),
//'id' => $user,
'id' => $user->id,
'name' => $image_data['file_name'],
'path' => $image_data['full_path'],
//'thumb_path'=> $image_data['file_path'] . 'thumbs/'. $image_data['file_name'],
//'tag' => $tag
);
$this->db->insert('profile_photos', $insert_data);//load array to database
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
}
}
