autoload.php

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database','session','form_validation','encryption','upload');
$autoload['helper'] = array('url','form', 'file');

I have tried several solution but still getting the same error .

Answer 1

Have you try to put initializes the CI file upload class before doing do_upload? .

i usully use this one

 $this->upload->initialize($set_upload);//my func class for config
   //generally they use $this->upload->initialize()
        if (!$this->upload->do_upload('userfile')){


        }
