"File Upload Failed: The Upload Path Does Not Appear to Be Valid in CodeIgniter 3"

Question

I'm working on a file upload feature in CodeIgniter 3, but I'm encountering the following error:

File upload failed: The upload path does not appear to be valid.

Here are the details of the issue:

The upload folder is writable (chmod 777 applied), and the directory path is correct. I want to save the uploaded image in the database and display it in the view. Here is my controller code:

public function add_details()
{
    $config['upload_path'] = FCPATH . 'uploads/';
    $config['upload_path'] = './upload/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|png|jpeg';
    $config['max_size'] = 2048;

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);

    if (!$this->upload->do_upload('image')) {
        $error = $this->upload->display_errors();
        log_message('error', 'File upload failed: ' . $error);
        $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'File upload failed: ' . $error);
    } else {
        $imageData = $this->upload->data();
        $record = [
            'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
            'description' => $this->input->post('description'),
            'image' => base_url('uploads/' . $imageData['file_name']),

        ];


        if ($this->DashboardModel->add_details($record)) {
            $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Details added successfully.');
        } else {
            $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Failed to save details to the database.');
        }
    }

    redirect(base_url('dashboard'));
}

}

I want to upload the image, save its path to the database, and display the uploaded image in the view.

Is your upload directory called upload (without an s) or uploads (with an s)? You're using both in the code. — Marleen

its uploads and i corrected the code by adding only $config['upload_path'] = './upload/'; but still the issue seem — Shalat 221722

You're also using uploads in this line, make sure to change that too: 'image' => base_url('uploads/' . $imageData['file_name']), — Marleen

improve your code

public function add_details()
{
    $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|png|jpeg';
    $config['max_size'] = 2048;

    // Load upload library with the configuration
    $this->load->library('upload', $config);

    // Handle file upload
    if (!$this->upload->do_upload('image')) {
        // Log and flash error message
        $error = $this->upload->display_errors();
        log_message('error', 'File upload failed: ' . $error);
        $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'File upload failed: ' . $error);
    } else {
        // Retrieve uploaded image data
        $imageData = $this->upload->data();

        // Prepare data for saving to the database
        $record = [
            'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
            'description' => $this->input->post('description'),
            'image' => 'uploads/' . $imageData['file_name'], // Store relative path in the database
        ];

        // Save to the database
        if ($this->DashboardModel->add_details($record)) {
            $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Details added successfully.');
        } else {
            $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Failed to save details to the database.');
        }
    }

    // Redirect to dashboard
    redirect(base_url('dashboard'));
}
