    $this->load->view('upload_form', array('error' => ' ' ));
}

function do_upload()
{
    $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
    $config['max_size'] = '100';
    $config['max_width']  = '1024';
    $config['max_height']  = '768';

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

    if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
    {
        $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());

        $this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
    }   
    else
    {
        $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());

        $this->load->view('upload_success', $开发者_如何转开发data);
    }
}   
}
?>

Or do we have any alternative?

You can get it with data() method like this:

$upload_data = $this->upload->data();
echo $upload_data['file_name'];

Note that you can also get other upload data, just check what you have:

print_r($upload_data);

Create an array with whatever you need to upload in your db...and then insert it in the db put something like this under else:

 //create array to load to database
                $insert_data = array(
                    'name' => $image_data['file_name'],
                    'path' => $image_data['full_path'],
                    'thumb_path'=> $image_data['file_path'] . 'thumbs/'. $image_data['file_name'],
                    'tag' => $tag
                     );

          $this->db->insert('photos', $insert_data);//load array to database 

Important:the indexes of the array got to have same name with the columns of your table!

also try and use your model it will make your code a bit easier to maintain,read etc best of luck!

you can use this way :

$data = array('upload' => $this->upload->data());
echo $data['upload']['file_name'];

$config['upload_path'] = './assets/uploads/';  // Upload Path will be here
        $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
        $this->upload->initialize($config);

        if ($this->upload->do_upload('upload')) {
           $file_data = $this->upload->data();
           $file_name= $file_data['file_name']; //get file name of your uploaded file from here..

         }
         else { 

          echo "Error";
         } 

        $data = array(

        'image_name' =>  $file_data['file_name'], //insert your image name from here..
        );

        $this->add_model->image_upload($data); //that will go to the model function..
        }
