Codeigniter *multiple image upload* save to database issue - php

Question

I'm probably missing a real simple point here but would one of you Codeigniter gurus' be able to help me with my issue. I have a userform which stores information for a sales page, which holds both text and images saved to a database.
I am able to save one image to the database fine, but multiple i'm struggling. Currently all the images are being transferred to the correct folder but I need them to store in the MySQL table.
Form:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-lg-4 control-label">Avonics:</label>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?php
$avonics6 = array(
'name' => 'avonics6',
'class' => 'form-control',
'placeholder' => 'Avonics',
'value' => set_value('avonics6')
);
echo form_input($avonics6);
?>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="fieldset_class">
<legend><strong><font color="black">Aircraft Condition</font></strong></legend>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-lg-4 control-label">Interior:</label>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<?php
$interior = array(
'name' => 'interior',
'class' => 'form-control',
'placeholder' => 'Interior 0-100%',
'value' => set_value('interior')
);
echo form_input($interior);
?>

Model (this seems to be the issue??):
function add_aircraft()
{
$name_array = array();
$count = count($_FILES['userfile']['size']);
foreach($_FILES as $key=>$value)
for($s=0; $s<=$count-1; $s++)
{
$_FILES['userfile']['name']=$value['name'][$s];
$_FILES['userfile']['type'] = $value['type'][$s];
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] = $value['tmp_name'][$s];
$_FILES['userfile']['error'] = $value['error'][$s];
$_FILES['userfile']['size'] = $value['size'][$s];
/* config image */
$config['upload_path'] = './upload/aircraftsales';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->initialize($config);
$this->upload->do_upload();
$data = $this->upload->data();
$name_array[] = $data['file_name'];
$names= implode(',', $name_array);
}
$aircraft = array(
'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
'price' => $this->input->post('price'),
'year' => $this->input->post('year'),

$insert = $this->db->insert('aircraftsales', $aircraft);
return $insert;
}
}

Answer 1

In your code you use return $insert;.
return act as exit. So when its reach it will stop the foreach and return value imidiatly to controller.
And you no need to use for() loop inside foreach loop
