Image upload not working in codeigniter - php

Question

i am trying to upload multiple images using codeigniter. But images are not uploaded to the upload_images folder.
no errors are shown.
View form
<form action="<?php echo base_url(); ?>property/add_images2" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="files1" multiple="multiple" accept="image/*">
<div id="image">
</div>
<a id="another_image" href="#">Add Another Image</a>
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
jquery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var count = 2;
$('#another_image').click (function(){
if(count < 7){
$('<input type="file" name="files'+count+'" multiple="multiple" accept="image/*">').appendTo ("#image");
count++;
}
});
});
</script>
Controller
function add_images2(){
$this->load->library('upload');
$files = $_FILES;
if($files){
for( $i = 1; $i < 7; $i++) {
$config = array();
$config['upload_path'] = './upload_images/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '10000';
$config['file_name'] = 'prop_'.md5(time());
$config['overwrite'] = FALSE;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->do_upload('files'.$i);
}
}
$this->load->view('add_images2');
}
don't know where i made the mistake.
Tnx..

Write the below Function in your Controller.
/*It will upload the images to the specified path and will return the image urls in an array*/
private function upload_files($path, $files)
{
$path = PHYSICAL_PATH . $path;
$config = array(
'upload_path' => $path,
'allowed_types' => 'JPG|JPEG|GIF|PNG|gif|jpg|png|jpeg|tft|TFT',
'overwrite' => 1,
);
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$images = array();
foreach ($files['name'] as $key => $image) {
$_FILES['images[]']['name']= $files['name'][$key];
$_FILES['images[]']['type']= $files['type'][$key];
$_FILES['images[]']['tmp_name']= $files['tmp_name'][$key];
$_FILES['images[]']['error']= $files['error'][$key];
$_FILES['images[]']['size']= $files['size'][$key];
$fileName = time() .'_'. $image;
$images[] = $fileName;
$config['file_name'] = $fileName;
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if ($this->upload->do_upload('images[]')) {
$this->upload->data();
} else {
echo $this->upload->display_errors();die();
return false;
}
}
return $images;
}
call the above Function in your function
$firstFileName = $_FILES['photo']['name'][0];//Check whether any Images is uploaded or not.
if($firstFileName != "")
{
$path = "uploads/property_image/";//Give your Path name
$values = $this->upload_files($path,$_FILES['photo']);
/* $values contents the Image path Array.Now you can send the array to the View Page for your use or can call any Models to store into the DB. */
}
