Codeigniter 4: Uploading files with move_uploaded_file

Question

I just started moving CodeIgniter 3 project to CodeIgniter 4.

Everything works fine except file upload.

I would like to keep the user uploaded files in /writab

Answer 1

You are not using CodeIgniter's built in functions. Everything shown in your code are PHP functions. If you want to leverage built in CI functions, then look through the documentation as linked by @Boominathan Elango.

To get the file from the request:

$file = $this->request->getFile('here_goes_input_name');

As specified here

To move the file using CI function:

$file->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $newName);
