Two form on the same view in CodeIgniter - php

Question

I have a problem in Codeigniter when i have two upload forms on the same view/site. It seems Codeigniter recognizes only submit from one form. Even if i change the input name in the form, problem still exists.
Below is my view and controler:
View:
<?php echo form_open_multipart('admin/upload/do_upload_ac');?>
<input type="file" name="actives" />
<br /><br />
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Add Active Emails" />
</form>
<?php echo form_open_multipart('admin/upload/do_upload_un');?>
<input type="file" name="unactives" />
<br /><br />
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Add Active Emails" />
</form>
And the controler:
public function do_upload_ac()
{
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'csv';
$config['max_size'] = 0;
$config['max_width'] = 1024;
$config['max_height'] = 768;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('actives'))
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Csv Data Import failed!! Please check the file size or file type!');
//$this->load->view('admin/muc', $error);
redirect(base_url() . 'index.php/admin/muc');
}
else
{
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$filename_ac = $this->upload->data('full_path');
$this->Upload_model->insert_csv_ac($filename_ac);
$this->Upload_model->clean_temp_ac();
$this->Upload_model->truncate_temp_ac();
$this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Csv Data Imported Succesfully!');
//$this->load->view('success', $data);
//unlink($filename_ac);
redirect(base_url() . 'index.php/admin/muc');
}
}
public function do_upload_un()
{
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'csv';
$config['max_size'] = 0;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('unactives'))
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Csv Data Import failed!! Please check the file size or file type!');
//$this->load->view('admin/muc', $error);
redirect(base_url() . 'index.php/admin/muc');
}
else
{
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$filename_ac = $this->upload->data('full_path');
$this->Upload_model->insert_csv_un($filename_un);
$this->Upload_model->clean_temp_un();
$this->Upload_model->truncate_temp_un();
$this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Csv Data Imported Succesfully!');
//$this->load->view('success', $data);
unlink($filename_un);
redirect(base_url() . 'index.php/admin/muc');
}
}
I was searching here for similar problem, but i just found uploading multiple files at once. Any ideas? And thank you all.

Alright, to give you an understanding of multiple submit, I have rendered a sample view for you. I have created following view
With this code
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3" style="box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px grey">
<form action="<?php echo base_url().'admin/upload/do_upload_ac'?>" method="post" id="form1">
<div class="form-group">
<label > Upload 1</label>
<input type="file" name="file1" >
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" onclick="submitOne()">Upload Image1</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3" style="box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px grey">
<form action="<?php echo base_url().'admin/upload/do_upload_un'?>" method="post" id="form2">
<div class="form-group">
<label > Upload 2</label>
<input type="file" name="file1" >
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" onclick="submitTwo()">Upload Image2</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
And this Script
<script>
function submitOne()
{
$('#form1').submit();
}
function submitTwo()
{
$('#form2').submit();
}
</script>
I press first button I get
Similarly If i press second button it shows me form2 will be submitted. What you do once the form is submitted is all in the URL where you are submitting the form.

Your code is working with no update required. But you should change html form close with codeigniter's form_close() or user html form tag to start form.
