Modifying My Image Uploader - php

Question

At this present point in time I have some code that does the following:
I can edit and I can add a house sale that uploads/edits one image for this particular house and then during the process a thumbnail is created and then the original file name and the thumbnail name is saved to database fields called imagename and imagethumb.
(Note: Add and Edit a seprate pages)
What my idea is:
I will create another page that has the name of the houses fed into a dropdown menu so when one is selected and images are selected they will upload.
What my issue is:
I am getting myself confused as to what would be the best way to modify my database to enable this change.
How would I modify my php code to handle more then one file (How do I handle multiple images and then pass the image for uploading resizing etc ) What is the best option? - within my given idea?
Could I have an example of what I should do so I can work off this.
I have included the model view and controller (As an Example) of my Add Sale but I will also need to edit a image for the respective sale.
Model:
class Sales_model extends CI_Model
{
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
function getSalesPage($id = NULL) {
$query = $this->db->get_where('sales', array('id' => $id), 1);
if($query->num_rows() == 1) return $query->row();
} # End getSalesPage
function getSalesPages($id = NULL) { // $id does nothing
$query = $this->db->get('sales');
if($query->num_rows() > 0) return $query->result();
} # End getSalesPages
function getSalesContent($id = NULL) {
$this->db->where('id', $id);
$query = $this->db->get('sales', 1);
if($query->num_rows() > 0) {
$row = $query->result_array();
return $row;
}else{
return FALSE;
} # End IF
} # End getSalesContent
function addSale($data = NULL) {
$this->db->insert('sales', $data);
return TRUE;
} # End Add Sale
function updateSale($id, $content) { //Content id from being passed
$this->db->where('id', $id); // selecting the $id to update
$update = $this->db->get('sales'); // What does $update = well it = get the db sales
$row = $update->row_array(); // what does $row mean = well it gets the row as an array
if($update->num_rows() > 0) {
if(isset($content['imagename']) && isset($content['thumbname'])) {
#lets delete the image
unlink("/includes/uploads/gallery/".$row['imagename']);
#lets delete the thumb.
unlink("/includes/uploads/gallery/thumbs/".$row['thumbname']);
}
$this->db->where('id', $id);
if($this->db->update('sales', $content))
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
} # End IF
} # End Update
function deleteSale($id){
$this->db->where('id', $id);
$q = $this->db->get('sales');
$row = $q->row_array();
if ($q->num_rows() > 0){
//delete from the database
$this->db->where('id', $id);
$this->db->delete('sales');
//lets delete the image
unlink("includes/uploads/sales/".$row['imagename']);
//lets delete the thumb.
unlink("includes/uploads/sales/thumbs/".$row['thumbname']);
}//END if num_rows
}//END function deleteSale($id)

For handling dropdown, i think its easy one. But related multi upload stuff, you can use something like...
in your view
<?php echo form_label('Image: ','userfile1');?>
<?php echo form_upload('userfile1');?>
<?php echo form_label('Image: ','userfile2');?>
<?php echo form_upload('userfile2');?>
<!-- and so on -->
<span class="small">Required Field - 1MB Max Size</span>
Then in your controller, you can do this way
//Set File Settings
$config['upload_path'] = 'includes/uploads/sales/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|png';
$config['remove_spaces'] = TRUE;
$config['overwrite'] = TRUE;
$config['max_size'] = '1024';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
// Validate files for upload section...
$success = array();
$errors = array();
$updload_files = array(
'userfile1' => $_FILES['userfile1'],
'userfile2' => $_FILES['userfile2'],
// You can add more
);
foreach($updload_files as $field => $updload_file)
{
// Only process submitted file
if($updload_file['error'] == 0)
{
// If there is an error, save it to error var
if( ! $this->upload->do_upload($field) )
{
$errors[] = 'Failed to upload '.$field;
}
// Use this to get the new file info if you need to insert it in a database
$success[] = array( 'Success to upload '.$field => $this->upload->data());
}
else
{
$errors[] = $field . ' contain no data';
}
}
// Heres you could gettin know whats happen
var_dump($errors);
var_dump($success);
