CodeIgniter multiple file upload returns false

Question

I want to upload files after the successful insertion of some data into the database but the file uploading does not work.

The following is my code for file upload but it's not uploading.

Controller

public function saveReceipt(){
    $doc=$this->receipt_m->saveReceipt_m();
    if($doc){
      $countfiles = count($_FILES['attatchments']['name']);

      for($i=0;$i<$countfiles;$i++){

        if(!empty($_FILES['attatchments']['name'][$i])){

          // Define new $_FILES array - $_FILES['file']
          $_FILES['file']['name'] = $_FILES['attatchments']['name'][$i];
          $_FILES['file']['type'] = $_FILES['attatchments']['type'][$i];
          $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] = $_FILES['attatchments']['tmp_name'][$i];
          $_FILES['file']['error'] = $_FILES['attatchments']['error'][$i];
          $_FILES['file']['size'] = $_FILES['attatchments']['size'][$i];

          // Set preference
          $config['upload_path'] = base_url("assets/attachments"); 
          $config['allowed_types'] = 'pdf|txt';
          $config['max_size'] = '5000'; // max_size in kb
          $config['file_name'] = $_FILES['attatchments']['name'][$i];

          //Load upload library
          $this->load->library('upload',$config); 
          $arr = array('msg' => 'something went wrong', 'success' => false);
          // File upload
          if($this->upload->do_upload('file')){

           $data = $this->upload->data(); 
           $arr = array('msg' => 'Image has been uploaded successfully', 'success' => true);

          }
        }

      }
      echo json_encode($arr);
    }else{
      $response=array("status"=>false);
    }
   }

View

<form class="horizontal-form" name="frmSaveReceipt" id="frmSaveReceipt"  enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
     <input type="file" name="attatchments[]" id="file" multiple="multiple">
   </form

so you get returned "status" false ? that means $doc doesn't return anything, which means you need to analyze in your model receipt_m the function saveReceipt_m(), please add the relevant code... — Vickel

Use move_uploaded_file() to upload multiple file....

$filename = array();
for($i=0;$i<count($_FILES['attatchments']['name']);$i++){

if(!empty($_FILES['attatchments']['name'][$i])){
 move_uploaded_file($_FILES['attatchments']['tmp_name'][$i],
'assets/attachments'.$_FILES['attatchments']['name'][$i]);
 $filename[$i] = $_FILES['attatchments']['name'][$i];
 }
}

Now use loop on $filename to upload multiple file in your database..

below code working for me please try this Controller code is below

$info=$this->input->post();
$data = array();
  // If file upload form submitted

$countfiles = count($_FILES['galleryImage']['name']);

 for($i=0;$i<$countfiles;$i++){

if(!empty($_FILES['galleryImage']['name'][$i])){

      // Define new $_FILES array - $_FILES['file']
  $_FILES['file']['name'] = $_FILES['galleryImage']['name'][$i];
  $_FILES['file']['type'] = $_FILES['galleryImage']['type'][$i];
  $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] = $_FILES['galleryImage']['tmp_name'][$i];
  $_FILES['file']['error'] = $_FILES['galleryImage']['error'][$i];
  $_FILES['file']['size'] = $_FILES['galleryImage']['size'][$i];

      // Set preference
  $config['upload_path'] = './images/'; 
  $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|jpeg|png|gif';
      $config['max_size'] = '5000'; // max_size in kb
      $config['file_name'] = $_FILES['galleryImage']['name'][$i];

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

      // File upload
      if($this->upload->do_upload('file')){
        // Get data about the file
        $uploadData = $this->upload->data();
        $filename = $uploadData['file_name'];

        // Initialize array
        //$data['filenames'][] = $filename;

        $color=array(
         "pageId"=>$info["pageId"],
         "meta_key"=>"gImage",
         "meta_value"=>$filename,
         "status"=>1
       );
        $insert=$this->pm->insert_data($table,$color);
      }
    }

  }

and views code is

 <?php
$url=site_url('pages/SavePageAttribute');
$options = array('class' => 'form-inline', 'id' => 'category', 'method' => 'post','style'=>'margin:10px');
echo form_open_multipart($url, $options);
?>
  <tr>
     <td> 
      <?php
         echo form_label('Gallery Image', 'galleryImage'); ?></td>
        <td> 
        <input class="form-control" type="file" name="galleryImage[]" id="galleryImage" multiple="true">
         </td>
       </tr>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
