Question

I am using codeIgniter file uploading class example https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/file_uploading.html to upload files. In the example after i uploaded files it will show details like below in the upload success view page.

 Array
(
[upload_data] => Array
    (
        [file_name] => VenkataKrishna10.pdf
        [file_type] => application/pdf
        [file_path] => C:/xampp/htdocs/upload/application/
        [full_path] => C:/xampp/htdocs/upload/application/VenkataKrishna10.pdf
        [raw_name] => VenkataKrishna10
        [orig_name] => VenkataKrishna.pdf
        [client_name] => VenkataKrishna.pdf
        [file_ext] => .pdf
        [file_size] => 83.27
        [is_image] => 
        [image_width] => 
        [image_height] => 
        [image_type] => 
        [image_size_str] => 
    )

 )

Afterwards I tried to see entire uploaded data in an array format. My question is how to get full file path from the above array. I know there is a variable full_path but I am not able to get it. Please help me.

Answer 1

From your controller use

echo $data['upload_data']['full_path'];

From your view use

echo $upload_data['full_path'];
