Controller:

        'smtp_port' => 993,

        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

    $data = [
        'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
        'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
        'phone' => $this->input->post('phone'),
    ];

        $this->email->from($data['email'], $data['name']);
        $this->email->to('[email protected]');
        $this->email->subject('form');

    $file_name= $this->input->post('file');
    $this->email->attach($file_name);

        $message = $this->load->view('forms/formformat', $data, TRUE);
        $this->email->message($message);

    if($this->email->send()){
        $this->session->set_flashdata("email_sent","ok");
        redirect('forms/mailform');
    } else {
        $this->session->set_flashdata("email_nosent","error");
        $data['content'] = 'forms/mailform';
        $this->load->view('master', $data);

this code solved for me:

        $aConfig['upload_path']      = './uploads/';
        $aConfig['allowed_types']    = 'pdf';
        $aConfig['max_size']     = '3000';
     $config['encrypt_name']     = true;
        $this->load->library('upload', $aConfig);


    foreach ($_FILES as $key => $file)
    {
        if ($file['error'] == 0)
        {
            $this->email->attach($file['tmp_name'], '', $file['name']);
        }
    }
