Answer 1

Try out this code in your Controller

$config['upload_path'] = 'images'; //name of the uploading folder
$config['allowed_types'] = 'jpeg|png|jpg'; 
$config['file_name'] = 'name_for_file'; 

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

if (!$this->upload->do_upload())
 {
  echo $this->upload->display_errors();
  exit;
 }
else
 {
  $upload_data = $this->upload->data();
 }
