I want multi-upload image by codeigniter and use from following libraries, my problem is here that after select several (multi) image it give me in output (php) just a image, for example:

If i selected multi image as:

image1.gif | image2.gif | image3.gif

It just uploading :

image3.gif

In the meantime I am using the control function ‍‍foreach for upload image and it’s no problem.

<input type="file" name="userfile[]" >

    A neat approach which wouldn’t require any extra library would be this piece of code together with the multiple="" attribute.

    Don’t underestimate the comfort of selecting multiple files at once through UI.
