My Controller Home.php
Hope this will help you :
Use FCPATH for the upload_path in your $config
Your Latest_news method should be like this :
public function Latest_news()
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules('first_content', 'First content', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('second_content', 'Second content', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run())
{
$config['upload_path'] = FCPATH.'uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( $this->upload->do_upload('filename') )
{
print_r($this->upload->data());die;
$data['first_content'] = $this->input->post('first_content');
$data['second_content'] = $this->input->post('second_content');
$data['filename'] = $this->upload->data('file_name');
//Transfering data to Model
$this->Contact_model->latest_news($data);
//Redirecting to success page
redirect(site_url('Home/Latest_news'));
}
else
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
print_r($error);die;
}
}
else
{
$this->load->view('Latest_news');
}
}
