Question

How to upload multiple files with multiple inputs in codeigniter. Below is my code. I want to add many files but with different inputs for files.
if(!empty($_FILES['countryfile']['name']))
{
$filesCount = count($_FILES['countryfile']['name']);
for($i = 0; $i < $filesCount; $i++)
{
$imgFile=$_FILES['countryfile']['name'][$i];
$tmp_dir=$_FILES['countryfile']['tmp_name'][$i];
$imgSize=$_FILES['countryfile']['size'][$i];
//$upload_dir='../uploads/dish_images';
$imgExt=strtolower(pathinfo($imgFile,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
$valid_extensions = array('jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'gif','pdf');
$image=rand(1000,10000).".".$imgExt;
$config['upload_path'] = '../admin/upload_doc';
//$config['upload_path'] = 'http://teq-staging.com/maswad-phase2/admin/uploads/dish_images/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|jpeg|png|gif|pdf';
$config['file_name'] = $_FILES['countryfile']['name'];
$upload_dir=$config['upload_path'];
//$config['file_name']=$image;
$upload_dir=$config['upload_path'];
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if($this->upload->do_upload('countryfile')){
$upload_data = $this->upload->data();
}
}

upload form.php
<?php echo form_open_multipart('upload'); ?>
<p>
<?php echo form_label('File 1', 'userfile') ?>
<?php echo form_upload('userfile') ?>
</p>
<p>
<?php echo form_label('File 2', 'userfile1') ?>
<?php echo form_upload('userfile1') ?>
</p>
<p><?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Upload them files!') ?></p>
<?php form_close() ?>
the controller
function index()
{
// Has the form been posted?
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
// Load the library - no config specified here
$this->load->library('upload');
// Check if there was a file uploaded - there are other ways to
// check this such as checking the 'error' for the file - if error
// is 0, you are good to code
if (!empty($_FILES['userfile']['name']))
{
// Specify configuration for File 1
$config['upload_path'] = 'uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
// Initialize config for File 1
$this->upload->initialize($config);
// Upload file 1
if ($this->upload->do_upload('userfile'))
{
$data = $this->upload->data();
}
else
{
echo $this->upload->display_errors();
}
}
// Do we have a second file?
if (!empty($_FILES['userfile1']['name']))
{
// Config for File 2 - can be completely different to file 1's config
// or if you want to stick with config for file 1, do nothing!
$config['upload_path'] = 'uploads/dir2/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
