public function add_software()
{   
    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    $this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div class="error-form">',

    $data['name']        = $this->input->post('name');
    $data['description'] = $this->input->post('desc');
    $data['licence']     = $this->input->post('licence');
    $data['platform']    = $this->input->post('platform');
    $data['developers']  = $this->input->post('developers');
    $data['link']        = $this->input->post('link');
    $data['category']    = $this->input->post('cat');
    $data['logo']    = $this->input->post('logo');

    /////////////////////////////////
    //set preferences

    $config = array(
    'upload_path' => '' .base_url(). '/assets/img/logo/',
    'allowed_types' => "gif|jpg|png|jpeg|pdf",
    'overwrite' => TRUE,
    'max_size' => "4096000", 
    'max_height' => "1024",

    );
            //load upload class library

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
           $this->upload->data();
           $this->upload->do_upload();
    /////////////////////////////////
    //Transfering data to Model
    $this->insert_model->form_insert($data);
    $data['message'] = 'Data Inserted Successfully';
    //Loading View
    redirect('admin/view_softwares', 'refresh');
    }
}

This is my codeigniter controller function. Using this function, I can add data to the database. But, I am unable to upload image. Even upload_files is enabled in php.ini. I tried resolving this problem all day long, but all in vain. I have not used enctype in my html form because when I use enctype, I get the below error:

undefined Index filename

You have to use enctype="multipart/form-data" for uploading a file and Use $image_info = $this->upload->do_upload("name_of_input_type_file"); — Praveen Kumar

Your path is wrong.

'upload_path' => '' .base_url(). '/assets/img/logo/',

Note: Make sure your upload path "assets folder" is in the main directory out side of application folder. You also may need to set folder permissions.

Try

'upload_path' => FCPATH . 'assets/img/logo/'

or just

'upload_path' => './assets/img/logo/'

To access file info after upload success preferences

$image_info = $this->upload->data();

echo $image_info['file_name'];

Or Through Model

$this->insert_model->form_insert($data,  $image_info = array());
