Question

I have a controller with the method ‘do_upload’ which should upload an image to /img but instead I’m getting the following error:

http://localhost/img/

The upload path does not appear to be valid.

This is the method of the upload class.

public function do_upload(){

        $config['upload_path']= "http://localhost/img/";
        $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()){
            $errors=array('errors'=>$this->upload->display_errors());
            echo $config['upload_path'];
            $this->load->view('error',$errors);
        }

        else{

            $data=array('upload_data'=> $this->upload->data());

            $this->load->view('admin/admin');
        }
    }

The file permissions are set to the following (to test this works!):

drwxrwxrwx

However, if I direct my browser to http://localhost/img/ I am able to view the contents of the directory so I don’t think it’s a permission issue. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

Answer 1

You cannot upload to a URL. $config['upload_path'] must be a path to a filesystem location on your server.
