How to upload multiple images by append form and decode in codeigniter

@puneetkumar,

Do you want to code it from scratch or use a library (Your choice)?

HTML

<input type="file" name="userfile[]" multiple="multiple">

PHP

<?php
public function products()
{
$this->load->library('upload');
$dataInfo = array();
$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();
$dataInfo[] = $this->upload->data();
}

$data = array(
'name' => $this->input->post('pd_name'),
'prod_image' => $dataInfo[0]['file_name'],
'prod_image1' => $dataInfo[1]['file_name'],
'prod_image2' => $dataInfo[2]['file_name'],
'created_time' => date('Y-m-d H:i')
);
$result_set = $this->tbl_products_model->insertUser($data);
}

private function set_upload_options()
{
//upload an image options
$config = array();
$config['upload_path'] = './resources/images/products/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '0';
$config['overwrite'] = FALSE;

return $config;
}
?>
