Multiple form upload: get each file name separately in codeigniter - php

Question

I want to upload some files. I use codeigniter:
Html:
<input type="file" name="file1" />
<input type="file" name="file2" />
php:
$config['upload_path'] = './upload/';
$path = $config['upload_path'];
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
$config['encrypt_name'] = 'TRUE';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
foreach ($_FILES as $key => $value) {
if (!empty($value['tmp_name']) && $value['size'] > 0) {
if (!$this->upload->do_upload($key)) {
// some errors
} else {
// Code After Files Upload Success GOES HERE
$data_name = $this->upload->data();
echo $data_name['file_name'];
}
}
}
When I want to echo file name, I get 1.jpg and 2.jpg. But I want to have them separately and insert them into database.
How can I do this? Thank you :)

Add the the value from $data_name['file_name'] into an array and after your foreach loop do a insert_batch.
something like:
$filename_arr = array();
foreach ($_FILES as $key => $value) {
if (!empty($value['tmp_name']) && $value['size'] > 0) {
if (!$this->upload->do_upload($key)) {
// some errors
} else {
// Code After Files Upload Success GOES HERE
$data_name = $this->upload->data();
$filename_arr[] = $data_name['file_name'];
}
}
}
$this->db->insert_batch('mytable', $filename_arr);
