Hi every one, this is my controller function code for processing multipart form data in codeigniter, actually the field additionalUpload is not a required feild, but I want it to be validated if the user upload file in additionalUpload field of file type, when I run the above code and click on submit button without selecting any file its shows me error "You did not select a file to upload." which I do not want because this is not a required field, this is my first problem..
and second one is that when I select a file and click on submit button it again show me that "You did not select a file to upload.".
Note: I have just shown two fields of my form here that is title,additionalUpload but I have all total 9 fields.
THANKS IN ADVANCE PLEASE HELP ANYONE.
The first thing you have to put the name of the file field.
<input type="file" name="image"/>
$this->upload->do_upload('image');
Second, you can not have the max_width and max height 0
$config['max_width'] = '2048';
$config['max_height'] = '2048';
Try that first and then see
For validate field file:
if($_FILES['you_field_name']['tmp_name']){
//your code
}
A greeting
Try this one check if $_FILES
is not empty then do the validation else do nothing
$my_rules = array(
array(
'field' => 'title',
'label' => 'Title',
'rules' => 'required|min_length[5]|max_length[20]|xss_clean'
)
);
if(!empty($_FILES)){
$my_rules[]= array(
'field' => 'additionalUpload',
'label' => 'Additional Upload',
'rules' => 'callback_is_image'
)
}
$this->form_validation->set_rules($my_rules);
In your upload function you need to specify the field name
$this->upload->do_upload('your_field_name')
