not able to save 2 files from 1 form in codeigniter

Question

I have a form that requires a user to upload 2 files, file-upload & imgupload. I am trying to save the entire form through ajax.

Please try this updated function. You were doing some strange things e.g. initializing the first and not the second. As CI is a singleton, this could result in some issues (not saying that this was the root cause).

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

        echo '
';
        print_r($_FILES);

        $config['upload_path'] = './assets/file/.';
        $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|doc|txt';
        $config['max_size'] = 1024 * 8;
        $config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;
        $this->upload->initialize($config);

        if (!$this->upload->do_upload('file-upload')) {
            $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
            print_r($error);
        } else {
            $data = $this->upload->data();
            echo $res = $data['file_name'];
        }

        $config2['upload_path'] = './assets/img/.';
        $config2['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|doc|docx|txt';
        $config2['max_size'] = 1024 * 8;
        $config2['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;

        $this->upload->initialize($config2, true);

        if (!$this->upload->do_upload('imgupload')) {
            $error1 = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
            print_r($error1);
        } else {
            $data1 = $this->upload->data();
            echo $res1 = $data1['file_name'];
        }


If it doesn't work. Please let us know what the $_FILES array is printing.

UPDATE:

It wasn't working because $this->load->library('upload', $config2);. When CI sees load it checks first if the class is loaded regardless of the parameters being passed, as it was already loaded this line was ignored and the settings from $config (the first image upload) were being used.
