I want to upload an image, through this form:

<?php echo form_open_multipart('posts/create'); ?>

  <div class="form-group">

    <label>Title</label>

    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="title" placeholder="Add Title" required>

  </div>



  <div class="form-group">

    <label>Body</label>

    <textarea id="editor1" class="form-control" name="body" placeholder="Add Body" required></textarea>

  </div>



  <div class="form-group">

      <label>Category</label>

      <select name="category_id" class="form-control">

          <?php foreach($categories as $category): ?>

            <option value="<?php echo $category['id']; ?>"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></option>

          <?php endforeach; ?>

      </select>

  </div>



  <div class="form-group">

      <label>Upload Image</label>

      <input type="file" name="userfile" size="20">

  </div>

  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>

</form>

And when I send the information, and I check if the POST petition has the correct data. It doesn't.

It shows me all the inputs expect the file input...

This is the controller, is called Posts and the function is call create.

public function create() {

  $data['title'] = 'Create post';

  $data['categories'] = $this->post_model->get_categories();



  $this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required');

  $this->form_validation->set_rules('body', 'Body', 'required');



  if (!$this->form_validation->run()) {

    $this->load->view('templates/header');

    $this->load->view('posts/create', $data);

    $this->load->view('templates/footer');

  } else {

    // Upload image

    $config['upload_path'] = 'assets/images/posts';

    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';

    $config['max_size'] = 2048;

    $config['max_width'] = 2000;

    $config['max_height'] = 2000;



    $this->load->library('upload', $config);



    # Here's where I print the request.

    print_r($_POST);

    if (!$this->upload->do_upload('userfile')) {

      $errors = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());

      $post_image = 'noimage.jpg';

    } else {

      $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());

      $post_image = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

    }

    echo $post_image;



    /* $this->post_model->create_post($post_image);

    redirect('posts'); */

  }

}

The autoloader.php is configured correctly...

$autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'form', 'text');

If someone needs the complete project, here you go

I'm using Docker to run it, with docker-compose up --build you can test it.

I've tested your code and it is working fine and here is the result of var_dump($_FILES);:

["userfile"]=>

array(5) {

    ["name"]=>

    string(9) "image.jpg"

    ["type"]=>

    string(10) "image/jpeg"

    ["tmp_name"]=>

    string(23) "C:xampptmpphpB54.tmp"

    ["error"]=>

    int(0)

    ["size"]=>

    int(493443)

}

No problem at all.

BUT keep in mind that you should give $config['upload_path'] a relative path or an absolute path, so you may consider this $config['upload_path'] = './assets/images/posts'; or better this $config['upload_path'] = FCPATH'assets/images/posts';

Edit the controller Posts.php and add:

$this->upload->initialize($config);

Was the solution.
