If you trying to add time as the prefix of the image name along with the original name when uploading, But you couldn’t figure it out. Then this tutorial perfect for you.
Create a controller called Image.php. in it copy and past below code and save it to your application/controllers/ directory:
<?php
/*
Author: Mukesh Jakhar
Description: Rename file while uploading in codeigniter (Controller)
*/
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Image extends CI_Controller {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
if($this->input->post('uploadImage'))
{
$image = time().'-'.$_FILES["image"]['name'];
$config = array(
'upload_path' => "./uploads/",
'allowed_types' => "gif|jpg|png|jpeg|JPEG|JPG|PNG|GIF",
'overwrite' => TRUE,
'max_size' => "99999999999",
'max_height' => "800",
'max_width' => "1500",
'file_name' => $image
);
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if($this->upload->do_upload('image'))
{
$res['msg']="Image has been uploaded!";
$this->load->view('image', $res);
}
else
{
$this->load->view('image');
}
}
}
}
Create a view called image.php. in it copy and past below code and save it to your application/views/ directory:
<?php
