multiple image upload with codeigniter

Question

i am trying to do multiple image upload with different file input with the following code

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

My codeigniter code is

$config = array(
                'upload_path' => $path,
                'max_size' => 1024 * 100,
                'allowed_types' => 'gif|jpeg|jpg|png',
                'overwrite' => true,
                'remove_spaces' => true);
            $images = array();
            $this->load->library('upload');

            $files = $_FILES;
            $count = count($_FILES[$attachName]['name']);


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

                $_FILES[$attachName]['name'] = $files[$attachName]['name'][$i];
                $_FILES[$attachName]['type'] = $files[$attachName]['type'][$i];
                $_FILES[$attachName]['tmp_name'] = $files[$attachName]['tmp_name'][$i];
                $_FILES[$attachName]['error'] = $files[$attachName]['error'][$i];
                $_FILES[$attachName]['size'] = $files[$attachName]['size'][$i];

                $fileName = $title . '_' . $_FILES[$attachName]['name'];
                $images[] = $fileName;
                $config['file_name'] = $fileName;

                $this->upload->initialize($config);
                $this->upload->do_upload();
                if ($this->upload->do_upload()) {
                    $return['data'][] = $this->upload->data();
                    $return['status'] = "success";
                    $return['msg'] = sprintf($this->lang->line('success_item_added'), "Image", "uploaded");
                } else {
                    $return['status'] = 'danger';
                    $return['msg'] .= $this->upload->display_errors('', '') . "\r";
                }

            }

I found the solution to my problem

$this->upload->do_upload(); <-- removed this line

i changed this line

if ($this->upload->do_upload()) {

to this

if ($this->upload->do_upload($attachName)) {

I hope this helps someone

Thanks to those who downvoted without a comment or even why

$attachName is a variable, it is the name of the upload field in the form – Smith May 22 '15 at 12:36

For multiple file selection and upload you have to use

 <input name="attachement[]" type="file" multiple>

Otherwise always it will choose one file and multiple file fileds with same will overwrite each other.

i do not need the mutiple in the tag – Smith Nov 18 '14 at 12:32
then you have to keep different name for each tags otherwise last will overwrite the all previous one. Which is happening with you. – Neeraj Kumar Nov 18 '14 at 12:34

Please include enctype="multipart/form-data this in your <form> tag as:

 <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
       <input name="attachement[]" type="file">
       <input name="attachement[]" type="file">
    </form>
