Codeigniter upload issue: file_name doesn't work fine

Question

I use codeigniter and in upload file I have problem. file_name is produced Repetitiously.

My Model: (db_category)

public function do_upload($route = "./category-pic/") {
    $config = array(
            'allowed_types' => 'jpg|jpeg|gif|png',
            'upload_path'   => $route,
            'encrypt_name'  => 'TRUE',
            'max_size'      =>  3000
    );
    $this->load->library("upload", $config);
}

My Controller:

$this->db_category->do_upload("./product-pic/");
foreach ($_FILES as $key => $value) {
    $this->upload->do_upload($key);
    $data_name = $this->upload->data();
    $k++;
    if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file'.$k]['tmp_name'])) {
        // This is produced Repetitiously sometimes for different pictures.
        echo $data_name['file_name']. " ****** ";
    }
}

My view is simple and static like :

echo '<input type="file" name="file1" id="my_uploader" style="width: 210px;" />' ;
echo '<input type="file" name="file2" id="my_uploader" style="width: 210px;" />';
echo '<input type="file" name="file3" id="my_uploader" style="width: 210px;" />';
echo '<input type="file" name="file4" id="my_uploader" style="width: 210px;" />';

NOTE: All pictures uploads fine with their own names, but the problem is in $data_name['file_name'].

What is the problem? Thanks.

instead of

$data_name['file_name'];

use

$_FILES['file'.$k]['name'];

Thank you so much. But there is a problem. Codeigniter changes the picture name by 'encrypt_name' => 'TRUE' but your php code does not, and I insert to database with original name.

can you please show me the $data_name variable. echo "<pre>".$print_r($data_name)."</pre>";

You see, after first one, 3 of them are the same! But they are uploaded fine.

Finally I found the answer! It was a bad mistake from view part.

Input files was not written in order. For example it was like this:

echo '<input type="file" name="file5" id="my_uploader" style="width: 210px;" />' ;
echo '<input type="file" name="file2" id="my_uploader" style="width: 210px;" />';
echo '<input type="file" name="file3" id="my_uploader" style="width: 210px;" />';

I don't know why this can cause problem.
