I am using CodeIgniter file uploading class to upload a image. But if I try and select a pdf instead of image I do not get any errors on form submission.
relevant code
$config = array(
'allowed_types' => 'jpg|jpeg|gif|png',
'upload_path' => $this->article_path.'/magazine',
'max_size' => 2000
);
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->do_upload();
$this->upload->display_errors();
$image_data = $this->upload->data();
It is because you never went to the documentation (here), please do so in order to perform better in CodeIgniter framework.
this should give you heads up (please read comments)
$config = array(
'allowed_types' => 'jpg|jpeg|gif|png',
'upload_path' => $this->article_path.'/magazine',
'max_size' => 2000
);
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload()) //important!
{
// something went really wrong show error page
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors()); //associate view variable $error with upload errors
$this->load->view('upload_form', $error); //show error page
}
else
{
//all is good we upload
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
}
