Hi Jonathan,

You have to create a wrapper library that will handle/call the class.upload.php file. Then you will use that wrapper inside your controller.

< ?php


// application/libraries/Wrapper.php
require 'class.upload.php';
class Wrapper  {
	function process($files_arr) {
		$handle = new upload($files_arr); //$_FILES['image_field']
		if ($handle->uploaded) {
		    $handle->file_new_name_body   = ‘image_resized’; // the new name of the uploaded file

		    $handle->image_resize         = true;

		    $handle->image_x              = 150; // copied image width

		    $handle->image_ratio_y        = true;

		    $handle->process(’/my/upload/dir/’); // upload destination, make sure it’s writable by webserver
		    if ($handle->processed)  {

		    	echo ‘image resized’;

		        $handle->clean();
			} else {
		    	echo ‘error : ‘ . $handle->error;
			}

		}
	}

}

Then in your controller , you will use it like this:

< ?php // application/controllers/testwrapper.php


class testwrapper extends Controller  {
	function __construct() 	{
		parent::__construct();

		$this->load->library(’Wrapper’);

	}
	function index() {
		$this->load->view(”upload_form”); // view/template for file upload

	}
	function upload() {

$this->wrapper->process($_FILES[’file’]); // files array } }

Now, on your view file :
// application/views/upload_form.php

" enctype="multipart/form-data">

File : </form>

Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.

Hi!
Can you tell us how to use the class.upload (http://www.verot.net/php_class_upload.htm) in CI?

Thanks
