How to perform the upload with multiple files - tianhe - 07-29-2016

I use the following code in my form .

Code:
<input type="file" name="bbs_images[]">

<input type="file" name="bbs_images[]">

I tried

PHP Code:
$this->upload->do_upload('bbs_images'); 

and got

Code:
Message: is_uploaded_file() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

I also tried

PHP Code:
$this->upload->do_upload('bbs_images[0]'); 

but it also returned false because do_upload would finally try to access $_FILES['bbs_images'][0] and finally got NULL.

So, How could I use Upload::do_upload since the structure of $_FILES['bbs_images'] is as follows ?

PHP Code:
array (size=5)
  'name' => 
    array (size=2)
      0 => string 'XXX.xls'
      1 => string 'XXX.sql'
  'type' => 
    array (size=2)
      0 => string 'XXX'
      1 => string 'XXX'
  'tmp_name' => 
    array (size=2)
      0 => string 'XXX'
      1 => string 'XXX'
  'error' => 
    array (size=2)
      0 => int 0
      1 => int 0
  'size' => 
    array (size=2)
      0 => int XX
      1 => int XXX

I'm not used to use CI file upload but it seems you are in trouble since do_upload() seems to be made to one file only...

I would suggest:
1) Do a method to save $_FILES into another var and then try to override $_FILES with the proper structure and call do_upload on each file? Seems very clumsy but maybe it's possible to do this? I dunno...
2) Create another method similar to do_upload but prepared to receive that array of files.
3) Use another library like https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload

Let me show you mine :

For the View :

Code:
<input type="file" multiple name="userfile[]" size="20"/>

For the controller :

Code:
$upload['upload_path'] = './uploads/';

$upload['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';

$upload['max_size'] = 10000;

$upload['max_width'] = 4000;

$upload['max_height'] = 3000;

$files = $_FILES;

$count = count($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

for($i = 0; $i < $count; $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];    

    $this->upload->initialize($upload);

    $this->upload->do_upload();

}

Try upload some pics, if the pics you choose goes to 'uploads' folder, you did it
If it works for me, it should work for you too :)

                }
