After the validation routine runs you can access the upload library in the register function. The method $this->loader->data() will supply you with everything you need to retrieve the image.

that solve with :

$CI =& get_instance();
$upload_data = $CI->upload->data();
$image_file_name = $upload_data['file_name'];

After the validation routine runs i access the upload library in the register function with get_instance. and this work perfectly. thanks dude . @DFriend

You are welcome. You can simply use $this->upload->data('file_name'). I made a mistake by not including $this-> (which I have since added)
