Give some code please.

You have something like that in your controller's method "do_upload()" (cf User Guide) :

Code:

if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload()) {
    $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
    $this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
} else {
    $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
}

Then you should retrieve the uploaded file name with :

Code:

$filename = $data['file_name'];

i want only the file name
<input type="file" id="file_upload" name="banner">
in submit.php i wrote like these "$_FILES['banner']['name'];"
i do not know why the error happens
” Message: Undefined index: banner ”

The error says you don't have 'banner' into your $_FILES array.
So check out what data you got in your array

Code:

print_r($_FILES);

i applied your code "Array ( ) " this is the result.the file name is not in url also(i am using get method)

Please post your code, View and Controller, can't help you with eyes closed.

Think you can't upload a file with GET.

Why are you using a GET method ? Do you really need it, because I don't see any advantage except for saving urls, to use GET method.

Works great using POST method. Try it.

Code:

Array ( [banner] => Array ( [name] => [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 4 [size] => 0 ) [thumb] => Array ( [name] => [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 4 [size] => 0 ) )

got this
$_FILES['banner']['name']; use this also but nothing displaying

The code error 4 means that no file has been uploaded. (cf PHP Manual)
