I am trying to get a multiple upload library working for my Codeigniter based

  • 0

I am trying to get a multiple upload library working for my Codeigniter based website. I have it working almost but I have a slight problem if I upload more than one image, the file extentions get screwed up; for example, if I upload three JPEGS, I get this in my uploads folder,

image1.jpg
image2.jpg.jpg
image3.jpg.jpg.jpg

I cannot see what is causing it, this is the library in question and I am pretty sure that it is in there that the problem is,

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); 

/**
* This library assumes that you have already loaded the default CI Upload Library seperately
* 
* Functions is based upon CI_Upload, Feel free to modify this 
*   library to function as an extension to CI_Upload

* Library modified by: Alvin Mites

    I solved this exact problem by amending the Upload.php files located in the library folder.

    Comment out line 935:

    $filename = $this->file_name;
