Move Image to another Path from a clicked link; Codeigniter - image

Question

The idea is to move an image selected by the current user to another path that's also in the database. Here is the Controller:
public function makeProfile() {
if (isset($_GET['makeProfile']));
$data['user_id']= $this->session->userdata['user_id'];
$fileName = ('uploads/'.$fileName);
if($this->images_model->makeProfile($data, $fileName)) {
echo "Success";
$msg = 'File successfully moved to profile';
redirect(site_url().'main/');
}else{
echo "Failure";
The Model:
Public function makeProfile ($data, $fileName) {
return $this->db->get_where('images', ['user_id' => $this->session->userdata('user_id')])->row();
move_uploaded_file('uploads/'.$fileName, 'uploads/profile/'.$fileName);
if($this->db->affected_rows() == '1') {
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
The VIEW:
<a class="profile" href="<?= base_url('main/makeProfile') ?>">Make Profile</a>
I’m probably going about this all wrong, but hoping someone here might steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any and all input!

Answer 1

Function makeProfile in the model has an issue. You are getting the record and then returning it back. The code below is not executing
Public function makeProfile ($data, $fileName) {
$fileName= $this->db->get_where('images', ['user_id' => $this->session->userdata('user_id')])->row()->image;
// Will copy foo/test.php to bar/test.php
// overwritting it if necessary
copy('uploads/'.$fileName, 'uploads/profile/'.$fileName));
if($this->db->affected_rows() == '1') {
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
Quoting a couple of relevant sentences from its manual page :
Makes a copy of the file source to dest.
If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.
