This is a helper method that returns an array containing all of the data related to the file you uploaded. Here is the array prototype:

Array
(
        [file_name]     => mypic.jpg
        [file_type]     => image/jpeg
        [file_path]     => /path/to/your/upload/
        [full_path]     => /path/to/your/upload/jpg.jpg
        [raw_name]      => mypic
        [orig_name]     => mypic.jpg
        [client_name]   => mypic.jpg
        [file_ext]      => .jpg
        [file_size]     => 22.2
        [is_image]      => 1
        [image_width]   => 800
        [image_height]  => 600
        [image_type]    => jpeg
        [image_size_str] => width="800" height="200"
)

To return one element from the array:

$this->upload->data('file_name');       // Returns: mypic.jpg

Here’s a table explaining the above-displayed array items:

file_name Name of the file that was uploaded, including the filename extension
file_type File MIME type identifier
file_path Absolute server path to the file
full_path Absolute server path, including the file name

file_ext Filename extension, period included
file_size File size in kilobytes
is_image Whether the file is an image or not. 1 = image. 0 = not.
