upload multiple documents with PHP Codeigniter - php

Question

I am working on a user registration form in which the user is required to upload his profile image and a document for verification purposes. These are the two different fields in the form. The code works fine but the problem is that it only uploads the profile image and stores it in the verification documents folder. It does not upload the verification document. It works fine if I remove or comment one of the field.
Below is my controller function.
/** UPLOAD PROFILE IMAGE **/
$prof_pic = $_FILES['profile_pic']['name'];
$config = array ('upload_path' => './images/tutors/',
'allowed_types' => "jpeg|jpg|png",
'overwrite' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->do_upload('profile_pic');
/** UPLOAD VERIFICATION DOCUMENT **/
$tut_ver_docs = $_FILES['tut_ver_docs']['name'];
$new_config = array ('upload_path' => './emp_verification_documents/',
'allowed_types' => "jpeg|jpg|png",
'overwrite' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('upload', $new_config);
$this->upload->do_upload('tut_ver_docs');

Answer 1

Try replacing:
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
with :
$this->load->library('upload');
$this->upload->initialize($config);

Answer 2

replace
$this->load->library('upload', $new_config);
with
$this->upload->initialize($new_config);

Answer 3

I'm not entirely sure why you're loading the upload class twice:
$this->load->library('upload');
$this->upload->upload_path = './images/tutors/';
$this->upload->allowed_types = array('jpeg','jpg','png');
foreach($_FILES as $name => $file){
if($name == 'tut_ver_docs'){ //if its the verification document, change the upload path
$this->upload->upload_path = './emp_verification_documents/';
}
if( ! $this->upload->do_upload($name){
//catch error
}
}

I did not tested it But I think this should work for you
/** UPLOAD PROFILE IMAGE **/
$this->load->library('upload');//load the library
$config = array ('upload_path' => './images/tutors/',
'allowed_types' => "jpeg|jpg|png",
'overwrite' => TRUE
);//config for profile picture
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload('profile_pic'))
{
print_r($this->upload->display_errors());//upload fails.you can print the error or display somewhere else
}
/** UPLOAD VERIFICATION DOCUMENT **/
$tut_ver_docs = $_FILES['tut_ver_docs']['name'];
$new_config = array ('upload_path' => './emp_verification_documents/',
'allowed_types' => "jpeg|jpg|png",
'overwrite' => TRUE
);
$this->upload->initialize($new_config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload('tut_ver_docs'))
{
print_r($this->upload->display_errors());//upload fails
}
