That's somewhat outside the scope of this topic I think, but take a look at the Image Manipulation class: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...e_lib.html

Thanks for the library.

I have one question. In case I need identify what was the input field used by the user to upload a given file, what I must do? I mean, I have a form with three file input fields, and users can upload one of them, the my backend logic is different and tied to what input field the user select.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Nihilistik,

I just wanted to say thanks for making this nice piece of code. I've incorporated into my CI app and it is working great. I've been looking for this for over a year so it is a HUGE help. Hopefully it will continue to help others too, thanks again!

best regards,
tim

[quote author="Pent" date="1345583684"]Just registered to say this was exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much. I do however run in a minor issue, if there are multiple entries in the "error" array (the files that did not get uploaded) their error messages are concatenated, like this (I'm echoing the file names and the error messages):

(filename1)

The file you are attempting to upload is larger than the permitted size.

(filename2)

The file you are attempting to upload is larger than the permitted size.

The file you are attempting to upload is larger than the permitted size.

So the first error message under filename2 is actually the error message of filename1. I found out this happens because for uploading all the files, one instance of the upload class is used, and the error messages are just added together (because one file can have multiple error messages). It can be fixed by clearing the error array after merging it in the $uploaded_info, like this:

You made a very interesting question which helps me to improve this library, download the new version and confirm if you are ok with those changes.

Thanks very much!

In my current project I already sort out this limitation using $_FILE data besise your library. Happy to know that in my upcomming projects I will not have to use $FILE var.

Thanks again for so great support.
