I have stored form values along with image_url. I have to edit them,so that I fetched data from database. Now, I want to assign dynamic value to the input type file,so that user will understand which file is selected. If I don't browse file again and hit Save button then it shows undefined variable error.
What I have tried so far - 

 <img id='feature_img' src="<?php echo base_url('assets\\')."upload\\".$feature_img ?>"> //To display Image         
 <label for="edit_feat-img" class="custom-file-upload">
    <i class="fa fa-cloud-upload"></i> Update
 </label>
  <input id="edit_feat-img"name='featured_img'type="file"style="display:none;"> //If I dont browse file again it shows undefined variable.

What I want, if I don't select file, then it should take the dynamic value which I want to assign to input type file, so that undefined variable error will not be occured.
How is this possible?
Thanks.

    You can't due to security concerns. My best idea is to show the filename besides the file type input to notify the user. – jtheman Jan 09 '17 at 13:44
