I am not able to upload files in codeigniter, and i am not getting any error, i am confused as to why this is happening and I also want to upload multiple attachments once i am done with this, but somehow i am not getting any errors while executing these codes, Is there any visible error or am i missing something? I have not uploaded any files before and this is my first attempt. I am attaching the MVC codes below:
My view form is :
<!-- form start -->
<?php echo form_open_multipart('exits/manager_add_absconding/'.$id,array('name'=>'addostcstevent','id'=>'addostcstevent','method'=>'post','autocomplete'=>'on','class'=>'form-horizontal'))?>
<?php echo form_hidden(array('id'=>$row->id,'action'=>$action));?>
<div class="box-body">
<input type="hidden" name="todays_date" readonly id="todays_date" value="<?php echo date('m/d/y');?>" class="form-control col-md-10" <?php if($USER->permissions[0] != 'all') { ?> readonly <?php } ?>>
