Multiple files upload (Array) with CodeIgniter 2.0

I finally managed to make it work with your help!

Here's my code:

 function do_upload(){           $this->load->library('upload');    $files = $_FILES;    $cpt = count($_FILES['userfile']['name']);    for($i=0; $i<$cpt; $i++)    {                   $_FILES['userfile']['name']= $files['userfile']['name'][$i];        $_FILES['userfile']['type']= $files['userfile']['type'][$i];        $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']= $files['userfile']['tmp_name'][$i];        $_FILES['userfile']['error']= $files['userfile']['error'][$i];        $_FILES['userfile']['size']= $files['userfile']['size'][$i];            $this->upload->initialize($this->set_upload_options());        $this->upload->do_upload();    }}private function set_upload_options(){       //upload an image options    $config = array();    $config['upload_path'] = './Images/';    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';    $config['max_size']      = '0';    $config['overwrite']     = FALSE;    return $config;}

Thank you guys!

You should use this library for multi upload in CI https://github.com/stvnthomas/CodeIgniter-Multi-Upload

Installation Simply copy the MY_Upload.php file to your applications library directory.

Use: function test_up in controller

public function test_up(){if($this->input->post('submit')){    $path = './public/test_upload/';    $this->load->library('upload');    $this->upload->initialize(array(        "upload_path"=>$path,        "allowed_types"=>"*"    ));    if($this->upload->do_multi_upload("myfile")){        echo '<pre>';        print_r($this->upload->get_multi_upload_data());        echo '</pre>';    }}else{    $this->load->view('test/upload_view');}

}

upload_view.php in applications/view/test folder

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="file" name="myfile[]" id="myfile" multiple><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit"/>

Try this code.

It's working fine for me

You must initialize each time the library

    function do_upload()    {        foreach ($_FILES as $index => $value)        {            if ($value['name'] != '')            {                $this->load->library('upload');                $this->upload->initialize($this->set_upload_options());                //upload the image                if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload($index))                {                    $error['upload_error'] = $this->upload->display_errors("<span class='error'>", "</span>");                                        //load the view and the layout                    $this->load->view('pages/uploadform', $error);                    return FALSE;                }                else                {                                         $data[$key] = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());                     $this->load->view('pages/uploadsuccess', $data[$key]);                       }            }        }    }    private function set_upload_options()    {           //upload an image options        $config = array();        $config['upload_path'] = 'your upload path';        $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';                return $config;    }

Further edit

I have found the way you must upload your files with one unique input box

CodeIgniter doesn't support multiple files. Using the do_upload() in a foreach won't be different than using it outside.

You will need to deal with it without the help of CodeIgniter. Here's an example https://github.com/woxxy/FoOlSlide/blob/master/application/controllers/admin/series.php#L331-370
