Worong code:

 if($result){
                $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'User Added Successfully.');
                redirect(base_url().'settings/editaccount','refresh');
                $this->session->set_userdata('image','testing.png');
            }else{
                $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'User Added Unsuccessfully.');
                redirect(base_url().'settings/editaccount','refresh');
            }

Currect Code:

 if($result){
                  $this->session->set_userdata('image','testing.png');
                $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'User Added Successfully.');
                redirect(base_url().'settings/editaccount','refresh');

            }else{
                $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'User Added Unsuccessfully.');
                redirect(base_url().'settings/editaccount','refresh');
            }

If you want to update the session data, use:

$this->session->set_userdata('image','testing.png');

use it before redirect like this

 if($result){
            $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'User Added Successfully.');
            $this->session->set_userdata('image','testing.png');
            redirect(base_url().'settings/editaccount','refresh');

        }else{
            $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'User Added Unsuccessfully.');
            redirect(base_url().'settings/editaccount','refresh');
        }
