This worked for me and I hope it will also work for you. In codeigniter 4 please use this to upload your files and move it in your controller.

if($imagefile = $this->request->getFiles())
{
    if($img = $imagefile['gfile'])
    {
        if ($img->isValid() && ! $img->hasMoved())
        {
            $newName = $img->getRandomName(); //This is if you want to change the file name to encrypted name
            $img->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $newName);

            // You can continue here to write a code to save the name to database
            // db_connect() or model format

        }
    }
}

Or

        if($img = $this->request->getFile('gfile'))
        {
            if ($img->isValid() && ! $img->hasMoved())
            {
                $newName = $img->getRandomName();
                $img->move('./public/uploads/images/users', $newName);

                // You can continue here to write a code to save the name to database
                // db_connect() or model format

            }
        }

Then in your html Use this

I hope this will help you else call my attention.
