You have your do_updoad_data() wrong see changes below must set parent variable ie $file_data = $this->do_upload->data();

function save_confirm()
{
    $config['upload_path']   = './upload/';   
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|png';
    $config['overwrite']    =  TRUE;    
    $config['max_size']      = '100000';
    $config['max_width']     = '100000';
    $config['max_height']    = '100000';

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    $this->upload->initialize($config);


    if ($this->upload->do_upload("pict") == true) {

    $file_data = $this->do_upload->data();
    $file_name = $file_data['file_name'];

    // http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/file_uploading.html

    // Examples
    $file_type = $file_data['file_type'];
    $file_path = $file_data['file_path'];
    $full_path = $file_data['full_path']; 

    $data = array(
    'id_booking'       => $this->input->get('id_booking'),
    'username' => $this->get_username_by_user_token(),
    'transfer_date'   => date('Y-m-d'),
     'pict'     => $file_name
    );

    $this->db->insert('confirmation',$data);
    return $this->db->insert_id();

  } else {

    // return false;

  }

}
