+***********
+The Process
+***********
+
+Uploading a file involves the following general process:
+
+-  An upload form is displayed, allowing a user to select a file and
+   upload it.
+-  When the form is submitted, the file is uploaded to the destination
+   you specify.
+-  Along the way, the file is validated to make sure it is allowed to be
+   uploaded based on the preferences you set.
+-  Once uploaded, the user will be shown a success message.
+
+To demonstrate this process here is brief tutorial. Afterward you'll
+find reference information.
+
+Creating the Upload Form
+========================
+
+Using a text editor, create a form called upload_form.php. In it, place
+this code and save it to your **app/Views/** directory::
+
+    <!DOCTYPE html>
+    <html lang="en">
+    <head>
+        <title>Upload Form</title>
+    </head>
+    <body>
+
+    <?php foreach ($errors as $error): ?>
+        <li><?= esc($error) ?></li>
+    <?php endforeach ?>
+
+    <?= form_open_multipart('upload/upload') ?>
+
+    <input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" />
+
+    <br /><br />
+
+    <input type="submit" value="upload" />
+
+    </form>
+
+    </body>
+    </html>
+
+You'll notice we are using a form helper to create the opening form tag.
+File uploads require a multipart form, so the helper creates the proper
+syntax for you. You'll also notice we have an ``$errors`` variable. This is
+so we can show error messages in the event the user does something
+wrong.
+
+The Success Page
+================
+
+Using a text editor, create a form called upload_success.php. In it,
+place this code and save it to your **app/Views/** directory::
+
+    <!DOCTYPE html>
+    <html lang="en">
+    <head>
+        <title>Upload Form</title>
+    </head>
+    <body>
+
+    <h3>Your file was successfully uploaded!</h3>
+
+    <ul>
+        <li>name: <?= esc($uploaded_flleinfo->getBasename()) ?></li>
+        <li>size: <?= esc($uploaded_flleinfo->getSizeByUnit('kb')) ?> KB</li>
+        <li>extension: <?= esc($uploaded_flleinfo->guessExtension()) ?></li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p><?= anchor('upload', 'Upload Another File!') ?></p>
+
+    </body>
+    </html>
+
+The Controller
+==============
+
+Using a text editor, create a controller called Upload.php. In it, place
+this code and save it to your **app/Controllers/** directory::
+
+    <?php
+
+    namespace App\Controllers;
+
+    use CodeIgniter\Files\File;
+
+    class Upload extends BaseController
+    {
+        protected $helpers = ['form'];
+
+        public function index()
+        {
+            return view('upload_form', ['errors' => []]);
+        }
+
+        public function upload()
+        {
+            $validationRule = [
+                'userfile' => [
+                    'label' => 'Image File',
+                    'rules' => 'uploaded[userfile]'
+                        . '|is_image[userfile]'
+                        . '|mime_in[userfile,image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/gif,image/png,image/webp]'
+                        . '|max_size[userfile,100]'
+                        . '|max_dims[userfile,1024,768]',
+                ],
+            ];
+            if (! $this->validate($validationRule)) {
+                $data = ['errors' => $this->validator->getErrors()];
+
+                return view('upload_form', $data);
+            }
+
+            $img = $this->request->getFile('userfile');
+
+            if (! $img->hasMoved()) {
+                $filepath = WRITEPATH . 'uploads/' . $img->store();
+
+                $data = ['uploaded_flleinfo' => new File($filepath)];
+
+                return view('upload_success', $data);
+            } else {
+                $data = ['errors' => 'The file has already been moved.'];
+
+                return view('upload_form', $data);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+.. note:: Since the value of a file upload HTML field doesn't exist, and is stored in the ``$_FILES`` global,
+    only :ref:`rules-for-file-uploads` can be used to validate upload file with :doc:`validation`.
+    The rule ``required`` also can't be used, so use ``uploaded`` instead.
+
+The Upload Directory
+====================
+
+The uploaded files are stored in the **writable/uploads/** directory.
+
+Try it!
+=======
+
+To try your form, visit your site using a URL similar to this one::
+
+    example.com/index.php/upload/
+
+You should see an upload form. Try uploading an image file (either a
+**jpg**, **gif**, **png**, or **webp**). If the path in your controller is correct it should
+work.

 Working With the File
-=====================
+*********************
 
 Once you've retrieved the UploadedFile instance, you can retrieve information about the file in safe ways, as well as
 move the file to a new location.
 
 Verify A File
--------------
+=============
 
 You can check that a file was actually uploaded via HTTP with no errors by calling the ``isValid()`` method::
 
     if (! $file->isValid()) {
-        throw new \RuntimeException($file->getErrorString().'('.$file->getError().')');
+        throw new \RuntimeException($file->getErrorString() . '(' . $file->getError() . ')');
     }
 
 As seen in this example, if a file had an upload error, you can retrieve the error code (an integer) and the error
 message with the ``getError()`` and ``getErrorString()`` methods. The following errors can be discovered through
 this method:
 
-* The file exceeds your upload_max_filesize ini directive.
+* The file exceeds your ``upload_max_filesize`` ini directive.

 Moving Files
-------------
+============
 
 Each file can be moved to its new location with the aptly named ``move()`` method. This takes the directory to move
 the file to as the first parameter::
 
-    $file->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads');
+    $file->move(WRITEPATH . 'uploads');
 
 By default, the original filename was used. You can specify a new filename by passing it as the second parameter::
 
     $newName = $file->getRandomName();
-    $file->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $newName);
+    $file->move(WRITEPATH . 'uploads', $newName);
 
 Once the file has been removed the temporary file is deleted. You can check if a file has been moved already with
 the ``hasMoved()`` method, which returns a boolean::
