i am still learning the codeigniter framework and just completed the news application tutorial, which lets you create a news item with a title and some text for the story. how can i get the user to be able to upload an image with the news item, and display each image when viewing the corresponding news item.
ps. sorry if i made any mistakes, this is my first question
create.php
<h2>Create a news item</h2>
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<?php echo form_open('news/create') ?>
<?php echo form_open_multipart('upload/do_upload');?>
<input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" />
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input type="input" name="title" /><br />
<label for="text">Text</label>
<textarea name="text"></textarea><br />
<input style="margin-left: 18%; margin-right: 20%;" type="submit" name="submit" value="PUBLISH" />
</form>
news_model.php
<?php
