                        'image' => '',//what to put here???
                        'time' => $now,

                        'register_id' =>set_value ('register_id'),

Answer 1

By default the file uploaded is called userfile

<input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" />

Change that image to userfile for your upload input element.

Otherwise define image as the name/id to use by the upload class.

If you would like to set your own field name simply pass its value to
the do_upload function:

$field_name = "some_field_name";
$this->upload->do_upload($field_name)

ACTUALLY… seems you are all over the place (multiple forms?)

Just go to the reference link I provided, and start a single form, follow the user guide for best details, I think you are just confusing how to create a form under CI.
