Hi I'm using codeigniter 2.1.2 and I was busy doing a tutorial called How to Upload Files with CodeIgniter and AJAX, I did everything like it said but it's not uploading or saving the content. this is the upload controller <?php class Upload extends CI_Controller { public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->load->model('files_model'); $this->load->database(); $this->load->helper('url'); } public function index() { $this->load->view('upload'); } public function upload_file() { $status = ""; $msg = ""; $file_element_name = 'userfile'; if (empty($_POST['title'])) { $status = "error"; $msg = "Please enter a title"; } if ($status != "error") { $config['upload_path'] = './files/'; $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|doc|txt'; $config['max_size'] = 1024 * 8; $config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE; $this->load->library('upload', $config); if (!$this->upload->do_upload($file_element_name)) { $status = 'error'; $msg = $this->upload->display_errors('', ''); } else { $data = $this->upload->data(); $file_id = $this->files_model->insert_file($data['file_name'], $_POST['title']); if($file_id) { $status = "success"; $msg = "File successfully uploaded"; } else { unlink($data['full_path']); $status = "error"; $msg = "Something went wrong when saving the file, please try again."; } } @unlink($_FILES[$file_element_name]); } echo json_encode(array('status' => $status, 'msg' => $msg)); } public function files() { $files = $this->files_model->get_files(); $this->load->view('files', array('files' => $files)); } public function delete_file($file_id) { if ($this->files_model->delete_file($file_id)) { $status = 'success'; $msg = 'File successfully deleted'; } else { $status = 'error'; $msg = 'Something went wrong when deleteing the file, please try again'; } echo json_encode(array('status' => $status, 'msg' => $msg)); } } Code (markup): This is my files_model <?php class Files_Model extends CI_Model { public function insert_file($filename, $title) { $data = array( 'filename' => $filename, 'title' => $title ); $this->db->insert('files', $data); return $this->db->insert_id(); } public function delete_file($file_id) { $file = $this->get_file($file_id); if (!$this->db->where('id', $file_id)->delete('files')) { return FALSE; } unlink('./files/' . $file->filename); return TRUE; } public function get_files() { return $this->db->select() ->from('files') ->get() ->result(); } public function get_file($file_id) { return $this->db->select() ->from('files') ->where('id', $file_id) ->get() ->row();

I don't have the time to read all of your code but I did notice that you haven't set the enctype. Add the following code to your form and it may get it too work. enctype="multipart/form-data" Code (markup):
Step away from the framework. Buy a book on PHP and Javascript. If you don't know how to make a program that uses asynch. javascript, PHP and SQL to manage uploads then you should definitely not be using someone else's framework.
