How to insert Multiple Uploaded files to database - php

Question

I'm working on a mobile application, and I'm handling database and APIs.
Android developer is sending me images and I'm using file function to get its data.
I have written this code:
public function addalbum($baseurl)
{
$images = array();
if(isset($_FILES['image'])){
//echo "hellow";exit;
//$pathToUpload = '../media/gallary/';
$count = count($_FILES['image']['name']);
//echo $count;exit;
$imagepaths = '';
$imagetepaths = '';
$images = '';
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
$imageurls[$i] = $baseurl."../media/gallary/".$_FILES['image']['name'];
$imagepaths = '../media/gallary/'.$_FILES['image']['name'][$i];
$images[$i] = $_FILES['image']['name'][$i];
$imagetepaths = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'][$i];
move_uploaded_file($imagetepaths , $imagepaths);
}
}
$data=array(
'image' => ($images != '') ? implode(',',$imageurls) : '',
'email'=>$this->input->post('email'),
'name'=>$this->input->post('name'),
'type'=>$this->input->post('type')
);
//print_r($data);exit;
$this->db->insert('album',$data);
}
But from the bunch of images, only the last one is being inserted in the database.
any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Answer 1

$_FILES['image'] is the field name of 1 uploaded file. If multiple files should be posted you would require different names for each field. Just think how will you upload multiple files from an html form.
For example: $_FILES['image1'], $_FILES['image2'], $_FILES['image3']
You could use something like this:
if(is_array($_FILES)) {
foreach($_FILES as $fileKey => $fileVal){
if($fileVal[name]) {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["tmp_name"],$target_path.$fileVal[name]);
}
}
}
Checkout this example where a maximum of 3 files are uploaded from android using php.
