CodeIgniter 4 : Upload File

Question

I have a problem uploading a file in my form using CodeIgniter 4 and I can't find what's wrong. Can you help me, please? The name of the file is ok, the problem is that it doesn't move the file in the specified directory because I get this error: Call to a member function move() on null. WRITEPATH has the value: C:\xampp\htdocs\myproject\writable\

The part of the view where I upload looks like this :

<div class="card-body">
    <label for="exampleInputFile">Fisier</label>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="input-group">
            <div class="custom-file">
                <input type="file" class="custom-file-input" name="customFile" id="customFile" required>
                <label class="custom-file-label" for="exampleInputFile">Alege Fisierul</label>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

And the part of the controller function where I try to move the file in a specific folder looks like this :

$img = $this->request->getFile('customFile');
$img->move(WRITEPATH . 'uploads');

I take the name of the file with this : $this->request->getVar('customFile')

Thank you !

Does this answer your question? Call to a member function move() on null — Flak

Can you show your entire form please? Can you also post the output of $_FILES? Maybe you forgot yo put your form as multipart. — marcogmonteiro

This worked in Codeigniter 4:

 $file = $this->request->getFile('file');

        if (!$file->isValid()) {
            return $this->fail($file->getErrorString());
        }

        $file->move(ROOTPATH . 'public\uploads\documents');

        $name = $file->getName();

Thank you!

In Controller Like this...

$config['upload_path'] = './upload/painting/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|png|jpeg'; // here you want to define file type
    $config['max_width'] = '250';
    $config['max_height'] = '300';
    $config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;
    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    //  $this->upload->do_upload('profile_pic');
        if ($this->upload->do_upload('ptn_url')) {
          $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
    //    print_r($data);
          $_POST['ptn_url'] = "upload/painting/" . $data['upload_data']['file_name'];
          $_POST['user_id'] = $this->session->user_data['user_id'];

in routes.php file which is located at config folder you need to define path for store image like this...

$route['upload-image'] = 'user';
$route['store-image'] = 'user/add';
$route['painting/(:num)'] = 'painting';

I hope this is helps to you...

Thank You...
