image not insert in mysql using codeigniter - mysql

Question

I am trying to insert images in mysql database with other data but its shows error.
its shows the $msg of not saved & repeat data of view file maybe due to $error which i set.
PS: I set 'image' datatype varchar in database.
here is my view file:
<input type="file" class="form-control-file" name="image" id="exampleInputFile" >
this is my controller:
public function save()
{
$this->load->model('Partner_model');
$feature = $this->input->post('feature');
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/files';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = 100;
$config['max_width'] = 1024;
$config['max_height'] = 768;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('image'))
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('partner_profile', $error);
}
else
{
$user_data= array(
'pname' => $this->input->post('pname'),
'type' => $this->input->post('type'),
'address' => $this->input->post('address'),
'about' => $this->input->post('about'),
'city' => $this->input->post('city'),
'code' => $this->input->post('code'),
'state'=>$this->input->post('state'),
// 'image'=>$this->upload->do_upload('image')
'feature'=>implode(",",$feature),
'image' => $this->upload->data()
);
}
if($this->Partner_model->save($user_data))
{
$msg = "save sucesss" ;
}
else
{
$msg = "not save";
}
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg', $msg);
$this->load->view('partner_profile');
}
}
& this is my model:
public function save($data)
{
return $this->db->insert('property', $data);
}

Your form must have the multipart attribute in HTML file like below :
If you're using form helper, then it should be
<?php echo form_open_multipart('/save');?>
Else your form should have the enctype attribute like below
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
Then the uploaded data result $this->upload->data() will come in array. So you can't store your array in mysql column. So you need to get the filename from $this->upload->data() and store it in a variable like below.
Your Controller should be
public function save(){
$this->load->model('Partner_model');
$feature = $this->input->post('feature');
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/files';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = 100;
$config['max_width'] = 1024;
$config['max_height'] = 768;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('image')){
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('partner_profile', $error);
}else{
$imageArray = $this->upload->data();
$image = $imageArray['file_name'];
$user_data= array(
'pname' => $this->input->post('pname'),
'type' => $this->input->post('type'),
'address' => $this->input->post('address'),
'about' => $this->input->post('about'),
'city' => $this->input->post('city'),
'code' => $this->input->post('code'),
'state'=>$this->input->post('state'),
'feature'=>implode(",",$feature),
'image' => $image
);
}
if($this->Partner_model->save($user_data)) {
$msg = "save sucesss" ;
}else {
$msg = "not save";
}
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg', $msg);
$this->load->view('partner_profile');
}
