<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">The Process</a><a class="headerlink" href="#the-process" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Uploading a file involves the following general process:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>An upload form is displayed, allowing a user to select a file and
upload it.</li>
<li>When the form is submitted, the file is uploaded to the destination
you specify.</li>
<li>Along the way, the file is validated to make sure it is allowed to be
uploaded based on the preferences you set.</li>
<li>Once uploaded, the user will be shown a success message.</li>
</ul>
<p>To demonstrate this process here is brief tutorial. Afterward you’ll
find reference information.</p>
<div class="section" id="creating-the-upload-form">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Creating the Upload Form</a><a class="headerlink" href="#creating-the-upload-form" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Using a text editor, create a form called upload_form.php. In it, place
this code and save it to your <strong>application/views/</strong> directory:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="o"><</span><span class="nx">html</span><span class="o">></span>

<span class="nt"></body></span>
<span class="nt"></html></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You’ll notice we are using a form helper to create the opening form tag.
File uploads require a multipart form, so the helper creates the proper
syntax for you. You’ll also notice we have an $error variable. This is
so we can show error messages in the event the user does something
wrong.</p>
