If you are going to add time as the prefix of the file name along with the original name when uploading, but you couldn’t figure it out. Then this tutorial will be very helpful for you.
Step 1. Create a view named image.php. in it copy and paste below code and save it to application/view/

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
$this->load->helper('url');
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<title>File upload</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" />

<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3"></div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<?php if(isset($msg)){echo $msg;}?>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Select File</label>
<input class="form-control" type="file" name="image" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</div>
</form>
</div>

class Image extends CI_Controller {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
if($this->input->post('uploadImage'))
{
$image = time().'-'.$_FILES["image"]['name'];
$config = array(
'upload_path' => "./uploads/",
'allowed_types' => "gif|jpg|png|jpeg|JPEG|JPG|PNG|GIF",
'overwrite' => TRUE,
'max_size' => "99999999999",
'max_height' => "600",
'max_width' => "800",
'file_name' => $image
);
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if($this->upload->do_upload('image'))
{
$res['msg']="Image has been uploaded!";
$this->load->view('image', $res);
}
else
{
$this->load->view('image');
