I tried to receive file name in controller, but can't. expect file, every peramter is getting received in controller. This is my jquery code with validation plugin.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#add_listing_form").validate({
rules: {
business_name: {required: true},
logo_pic: {required: true},
busi_type: {required: true},
address: {required: true},
about: {required: true}
},
highlight: function (element, errorClass) {
$(element).css({borderColor: '#FF0000'});
},
unhighlight: function (element, errorClass, validClass) {
$(element).css({borderColor: '#CCCCCC'});
},
submitHandler: function (form) {
showprocess();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?= base_url() ?>user/add_merchant",
data: $('#add_listing_form').serialize(),
dataType: 'json',
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData: false,
success: function (data) {
removeprocess();
try {
var response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
if (response.status == 'success') { $('.status_msg').html(getSuccessHTML(response.msg));
windowRedirect(response.redirect, 1000);
} else {
$(' .status_msg').html(getErrorHTML(response.msg));
}
} catch (err) {
$(' .status_msg').html(getErrorHTML(AJAX_ERR));
}
}
});
return false;
}
});
});
This is my HTML Code. I have put the entire code, so you can get the idea where i am stucked. I have tried different solution from stackoverflow and other sites.
