Uploading a File:
To upload a file, follow the below steps:
Step 1 Create a folder "uploads" on the root directory of your application. This folder will contain all uploaded files.
Step 2 Open the application/views directory and create a view file upload_view.php which contains a form for file uploading.
upload_view.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h2>Upload file Form</h2>
<?php echo $error;?>
<?php echo form_open_multipart('http://localhost/ci/index.php/Upload_controller/upload_fun');?>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/formdata">
<div class="form-group" style="width:40%">
<label for="class">Select file:</label>
<input type="file" class="form-control" name="file" >
</div>
<input type="submit" name="upload" class="btn btn-success" value="Upload"/>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Step 3 In the application/views directory, create another view file upload_success_view.php. This file is used to display the success message after the file uploading.
upload_success_view.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<<div class="container">
<h4>File uploaded successfully.</h4>
<a href="">Upload another file</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Step 4 Now, open the application/controllers directory and create a controller file Upload_controller.php. In this file, we will use two library form_validation and upload and two helper URL and form.
Upload_controller.php
<?php
class Upload_controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
}
public function index() {
$this->load->view('upload_view', array('error' => ' ' ));
}
public function upload_fun() {
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = 100000;
$config['max_width'] = 1768;
$config['max_height'] = 768;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('file')) {
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('upload_view', $error);
}
else {
$this->load->view('upload_success_view');
}
}
}
?>
Step 5 Open the given URL into the browser to see the result.
http://localhost/ci/index.php/Upload_controller
Select the file and click on the Upload button to upload that on your server.
