Message: file_put_contents(/../../uploads/newImage.JPG): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

i dont know why this happening, i am not much familiar with php and codeigniter

I "guess" `file_put_contents('../../uploads/newImage.JPG',$decoded);` is what you are trying to do. — Nazmul Alam, Feb 03 '16 at 06:23

If application and upload folder in same directory then,

You should write below line as:-

// APPPATH will give you application folder path
file_put_contents(APPPATH . '../uploads/newImage.JPG',$decoded);

You can also set upload path,

$this->upload_config['upload_path'] = APPPATH . '../uploads/';

get full information write below lines

 $data = $this->upload->data();
 // $data will contain full inforation
 echo "Full path is:". $data['full_path'];

This link will be useful to you.

Hope it will help you :)
