$res['id'] = 1;
$res['missionimage'] = $_FILES['userfile_0']['name'];
$res['staffimage'] = $_FILES['userfile_1']['name'];


foreach($files as $field=>$settings)
{

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


if ( !$this->upload->do_upload($field))

Either you can do it with repeating your one piece of code for all files to upload or use a loop to upload all files.

I'm not sure how good you are with Flash AS3, but it has a FileReferenceList class that allows you to select multiple files and then upload them in a queue to a controller method for processing.

I use this all the time and it works really well, especially when you need to filter file types or check the size of something before you post it to the server. Because its routed through Flash, you also get upload progress data and can display the percent uploaded or create a progress bar.

I made this function, all you need to do is run it, and make some small changes in CI files.

Code:

/*
** @param config - (array) config data for CI upload class
** @$field_name - (str) field where you have files to upload
*/
public function processMultipeUpload($config, $field_name) {
    $store = $_FILES;
    unset($_FILES);
    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    
    // you may need to set $x = 0; I dont use first file field, form sends it with "" values
    for($x = 1; $x < count($store["img"]["name"]); $x++) {
        $_FILES["userfile"]["name"]        = $store[$field_name]["name"][$x];
        $_FILES["userfile"]["type"]        = $store[$field_name]["type"][$x];
        $_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"]    = $store[$field_name]["tmp_name"][$x];
        $_FILES["userfile"]["error"]       = $store[$field_name]["error"][$x];
        $_FILES["userfile"]["size"]        = $store[$field_name]["size"][$x];
    
    
        if( ! $this->upload->do_upload() ) {
            // fail
        }else{
            // success
        }
    }
}

You also need to edit CI Upload library. To line 291 (end of do_upload function) add:

Code:

$this->file_name    = "";

and in function _prep_filename move:

Code:

$filename .= '.'.$ext;

before:

Code:

if ($this->file_name != '')
{
    $filename = $this->file_name;
}

If you won't do this, CI will generate bad names: first_file.ext, second_file.ext.ext, third_file.ext.ext.ext and so. If you won't clear filename names will be like: first_file.ext, first_file1.ext (but if will be 2nd file), third_file11.ext (3rd file..) and so.

Hope it'll help, and sorry for my English, not used to speak much.
