Question

Answer 1

A:

Models are intended for interaction with databases. Try moving your upload code into the controller, then if needed take the returned data ($this->upload->data();) and pass that to a model for insertion to a database.

function index() {
        $this->load->model('Gallery_model');
        if ($this->input->post('upload')) {
                $config = array(
                        'allowed_types' => 'jpg|jpeg|gif|png',
                        'upload_path' => '/uploads',
                        'max_size' => 2000
                );

                $this->load->library('upload', $config);
                $this->upload->do_upload();
                $image_data = $this->upload->data();
                $this->Gallery_model->insertImageData($image_data);
        }
 }

I tried changing it up a bit. I moved the functionality into the controller. Here's what my controller looks like now. I'm getting the same result though. the page comes back and no images have been uploaded. http://pastebin.com/anFP67rf

Stormdrain, that's not true. Models are ment for any form of data interaction whether it's via a database or a file (or anything else). Putting uploading related code in a model is perfectly fine.

@Yorick Peterse: From the CI userguide:"Models are PHP classes that are designed to work with information in your database."http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/models.html

@Jason Shultz:put your upload inside your `if` statement as shown above. By trying to create another function inside the controller `$this->do_upload()`, you're not actually passing the data to CI's `do_upload()` so nothing is getting uploaded. http://pastebin.com/AhDmTb2Y

@stormdrain That's how the CI user guide describes it, the MVC pattern describes it as a general business layer meaning it can be used for much more than database access. It's a common mistake people make.

Answer 2

A:

Try doing some error checking on your upload:

if(! $this->upload->do_upload('Filedata')){
     echo $this->upload->display_errors();
}
$upload_info = $this->upload->data();

echo var_dump($upload_info);

Here's the messages I'm getting:The upload path does not appear to be valid.You did not select a file to upload.array(13) { ["file_name"]=> string(0) "" ["file_type"]=> string(0) "" ["file_path"]=> string(0) "" ["full_path"]=> string(0) "" ["raw_name"]=> string(0) "" ["orig_name"]=> string(0) "" ["file_ext"]=> string(0) "" ["file_size"]=> string(0) "" ["is_image"]=> bool(false) ["image_width"]=> string(0) "" ["image_height"]=> string(0) "" ["image_type"]=> string(0) "" ["image_size_str"]=> string(0) "" } string(48) "/home/verdebus/public_html/assets/images/gallery"

I checked the file extensions and they're correct. i've tried hardcoding the upload path, removing /home/verdebus from it and just using /public/html/assets/images/gallery and that didn't work. and i've tried it with and without a trailing slash. still no go.
