Codeigniters do_upload() function is not working

Question

If I remove the part $this->upload->do_upload(\'filefoto\') my data is saved into the database, but the image file is not saved to the folder path.

Answer 1

you missed this

$this->upload->upload_path.'/'.$this->upload->file_name;

Answer 2

on a shared server hosting you may need to provide the complete relative path to your upload folder. Also make sure you have all permissions to write a file to that directory!

you can use on a localhost environment

$config['upload_path']   = './assets/upload'; 

but on a shared hosting, you'll need to get more specific, normally something like

$config['upload_path']   = '/home/yourserver/public_html/assets/upload'; 

You can find this upload_path, e.g. in your accounts cPanel main page on the left column or might want to call your provider's helpdesk for more info on the correct path.
