Question

I have a single form on a page. It has 5 text fields and 3 upload file fields. I need to write the text and file paths to a database. I have seen many examples online but most are to upload a single file or to upload multiple files from the same upload field.

I am new to CodeIgniter so code snippets would be very helpful.

Many thanks in advance.

Another suggestion would be:

function upload()
{
    $config['upload_path'] = $path; //$path=any path you want to save the file to...
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg'; //this is the file types allowed
    $config['max_size'] = '1024'; //max file size

    $config['max_width']  = '1024';//if file type is image
    $config['max_height']  = '768';//if file type is image

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);

    foreach($_FILES as $Key => $File)
    {
        if($File['size'] > 0)
        {
            if($this->upload->do_upload($Key))
            {
                $data = $this->upload->data();
                echo $data['file_name'];
            }
            else
            {
                // throw error
                echo $this->upload->display_errors();
            }
        }
    }
}

This will automatically work for ALL file inputs you post and it doesn’t care about the name or quantity 🙂
