my server side code is:

$path='./assets/fileuploads/';
$file=basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
list($txt, $ext) = explode(".", $file);
$actual_file_name = time().substr($txt, 5).".".$ext;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$path.$actual_file_name))
You need to use FormData to send files over via AJAX.
Store the file in a FormData object and pass the object as your data.
$("#file").change(function() {
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append('file', this.files[0]); // since this is your file input
$.ajax({
url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/Task_controller/upload_tasksquestion",
type: "post",
dataType: 'json',
processData: false, // important
contentType: false, // important
data: fd,
success: function(text) {
alert(text);
if(text == "success") {
alert("Your image was uploaded successfully");
}
},
error: function() {
alert("An error occured, please try again.");
}
});
});
Read File Uploading Class (particularly from The Controller section) on how to deal with the file on the server-side end.
