Move Image to another Path from a clicked link; Codeigniter

Question

The idea is to move an image selected by the current user to another path that's also in the database. Here is the Controller:

public function makeProfile()  {             
         if (isset($_GET['makeProfile']));           
         $data['user_id']= $this->session->userdata['user_id'];                      
                 $fileName = ('uploads/'.$fileName);              
    if($this->images_model->makeProfile($data, $fileName)) {            
         echo "Success";             
                     $msg = 'File successfully moved to profile';
        redirect(site_url().'main/');             
         }else{         
         echo "Failure";

The Model:

Public function makeProfile ($data, $fileName) {
return $this->db->get_where('images', ['user_id' => $this->session->userdata('user_id')])->row();
move_uploaded_file('uploads/'.$fileName, 'uploads/profile/'.$fileName);
if($this->db->affected_rows() == '1') {
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
   }

The VIEW:

<a class="profile" href="<?= base_url('main/makeProfile') ?>">Make Profile</a>

I’m probably going about this all wrong, but hoping someone here might steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any and all input!

Function makeProfile in the model has an issue. You are getting the record and then returning it back. The code below is not executing

Public function makeProfile ($data, $fileName) {
   $fileName= $this->db->get_where('images', ['user_id' => $this->session->userdata('user_id')])->row()->image;

    // Will copy foo/test.php to bar/test.php
   // overwritting it if necessary
   copy('uploads/'.$fileName, 'uploads/profile/'.$fileName));
   if($this->db->affected_rows() == '1') {
      return TRUE;
   }
   return FALSE;
}

Quoting a couple of relevant sentences from its manual page :

Makes a copy of the file source to dest.

If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.
