File path insert multiple rows MySQL and Php - php

Question

I am currently able to perform an upload of multiple images and then inserting the file paths into a row in the database. Ideally I need to find a way to upload these files paths as separate entries with their own ID. The reason why is because the image paths I am inserting are to be bound to a task which is inserted into a separate table.
function upload_file_new_task(){
global $db;
if(isset($_POST['create'])) {
$path = "../uploads/";
for ($i=0; $i<count($_FILES['files']['name']); $i++) {
$ext = explode('.', basename( $_FILES['files']['name'][$i]));
$path = $path . md5(uniqid()) . "." . $ext[count($ext)-1];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$i], $path);
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO upload_data (`image`) VALUES ('$path');";
$res = mysqli_query($db,$sql);
echo "<p>Post Created $date</p>";
}
}
So theimage is uploaded into the /uploads folder, the path is then loaded into the database as a single row with an id in the ID field and the path(s) are loaded into the image field.

Something like
function upload_file_new_task()
{
global $db;
if(isset($_POST['create']))
{
$path = "../uploads/";
for ($i=0; $i<count($_FILES['files']['name']); $i++)
{
$ext = pathinfo($_FILES['files']['name'][$i], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$path1 = $path . md5(uniqid()) . "." . $ext;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$i], $path1);
$sql = "INSERT INTO upload_data (`image`) VALUES ('$path1');";
$res = mysqli_query($db,$sql);
}
echo "<p>Post Created $date</p>";
}
}
