如何将文件图像存储到mysql（Codeigniter）

Question

I tried to upload file images into mysql using Codeigniter

This is likely my upload view:

<label>Upload File</label>
    <input type="file" class="form-control" name="images">
</div>

I've done with image name, description, etc.

I tried to save it into database, just like normal input form.

The result, column "images" cannot be null. I have set column "images" with varbinary(3000)

Am I doing it wrong?

EDITED:

My Controller:

public function save(){
    $this->gallery_model->save_foto();
    $this->session->set_flashdata('msg','FOTO BERHASIL DI UPLOAD');
    redirect(base_url('gallery'));
}

My Model

<?php
class Gallery_model extends CI_Model {
      public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
      }

  public function save_foto(){
    $data['id']            = date('U');
    $data['nm_foto']       = $this->input->post('nm_foto');
    $data['username']      = $this->input->post('username');
    $data['tanggal']       = date('j F Y');
    $data['images']        = $this->input->post('images');
    $data['deskripsi']     = $this->input->post('deskripsi');
    $this->db->insert( 'gallery', $data );
  }
}

You can't directly upload image into database , Insert image path

For upload image form form add

enctype="multipart/form-data" 

in form .
