my controller

if ($this->input->server('REQUEST_METHOD') == 'POST') {
   $id = $this->input->post('id_gids');

   $config['upload_path'] = './assets/profilepictures/';
   $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
   $config['max_size']    = '100000000';
   $config['overwrite'] = TRUE;
   $config['remove_spaces'] = TRUE;
   $config['encrypt_name'] = FALSE;

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

   $image_path = $this->upload->data();
   $gidsimg = $image_path["file_name"];

   var_dump($image_path);
   var_dump($this->upload->display_errors());

   $data = array(
     'gids_name' => $this->input->post('voornaam'),
     'gids_surname' => $this->input->post('name'),
     'gids_city' => $this->input->post('stad'),
     'gids_email' => $this->input->post('mail'),
     'gids_password' => $this->input->post('password'),
     'gids_bio' => $this->input->post('bio'),
     'gids_year' => $this->input->post('jaar'),
     'gids_interest' => $this->input->post('studie'),
     'gids_picture' => "assets/profilepictures/".$gidsimg
   );

   $this->Mod_model->update($id, $data);
}

my view

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="hidden" name="id_gids" value="<?php echo $w['gids_id'] ?>"/>
  <div class="pictureprofile">
    <img src="../../<?php echo $w['gids_picture'] ?>" alt="Profile Picture" class="profilepicture">
  </div><br>
  <input type="file" name="gids_img"/><br/>
</form>

First of all you are using codeigniter and your form action is empty. don't know how your data reach to controller

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

change your form tag to codignitor standers and try

echo form_open_multipart('controller/function');

The line:

$this->upload->do_upload('file');

The parameter for the do_upload function is expecting the name of the file upload field, so you should change it to:

$this->upload->do_upload('gids_img');

Check the max_upload_size value in your php.ini file. It might be that the image you are trying to upload is larger than the maximum allowed size
