How to implement Uplodify in Codeigniter

Create a Controller called : Upload.php in your application/controller. uploadify() method will upload the files to the server and return upload object on success ,return error object on failure.

load->helper(array('url', 'form'));
	}

	public function index()
	{
		$this->load->view('upload_form');
	}

	public function uploadify()
	{
		$config['upload_path'] = "./uploads";
		$config['allowed_types'] = '*';
		$config['max_size'] = 0;
		$this->load->library('upload', $config);

		if (!$this->upload->do_upload("userfile"))
		{
			$response = $this->upload->display_errors();
		}
		else
		{
			$response = $this->upload->data();
		}
		$this->output->set_content_type('application/json')->set_output(json_encode($response));
	}
}

/* End of file uploadify.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/uploadify.php */

Now create your View file called upload_form.php in your application/views/ directory.In our view we will have standard Uploadify stuff.
