I'm trying to create a user profile edit form on a Codeigniter project with the ability to upload a profile image. I'd like allow the upload to go through when the user clicks the submit button. I have no problems with the form (no errors), but I do not see any image on the uploads folder I set up. Any help to get the upload working would be greatly appreciated. 

Controller (User Edit/Insert Values to Database) 

```
public function update_edit($id) 
 {   

     $config['upload_path'] = '/uploads/profilepics';
     $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
     $config['max_size'] = 250;
     $this->load->library('upload', $config);
     $this->upload->do_upload('profile_img_path');
     $data_upload_files = $this->upload->data();

     $image = $data_upload_files[full_path]; 
 //input data
 $data = array(
   'user_name' => $this->input->post('user_name'), 
   'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
   'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'), 
   'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name'),
   'city' => $this->input->post('city'), 
   'country' => $this->input->post('country'),
   'description' => $this->input->post('description'),
   'date_edited' => $this->input->post('today'),
   'profile_img_path' => $image 
 ); 
 $this->user_model->update_account($id,$data); 

 //send a confirmation of user account update
 redirect('/');     

```

} 

Controller to access the form 

```
public function update_account()  

 { 

  $id = $this->uri->segment(3); 
  $data['user_profile'] = $this->user_model->get_user_profile($id);
  //only profile owner can access
  if (!$this->uri->segment(3))
   { 
     redirect('404'); 
   } 

  if ($this->is_logged_in()) 
  {  
    if ($this->is_logged_user()) 
    { 

   //update views
   $this->load->view('components/top'); 
   $this->load->view('interact/form/user/edit',$data);  
   $this->load->view('components/bottom'); 
    } 
   else 
    { 
     redirect('403'); 
    } 
  } 
  else 
  { 
    redirect('403');  
  } 
 } 

```

The View

```
   <div id="page">  
     <div class="container"> 

       <div class="row"> 

    <h3>Edit Your Account</h3>

   <?php foreach ($user_profile as $user): ?>

</form> 
 <?php endforeach; ?> 
  <a href="<?=site_url('/')?>">Back</a>
