Hi,

I am building a very small app - loosely based on one I found on Github - as a way to learn Fuel and hone my general PHP skills.

Currently, I have a form & I'm able to upload 1 Image & store the file name in my database - woop!

// Custom configuration for this upload

$config = array(
    'path' => DOCROOT.DS.'images',

                                      
    'randomize' => true,
    'ext_whitelist' => array('img', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png'),
);                          

Upload::process($config);

if (Upload::is_valid())
{
    Upload::save();
    $value = Upload::get_files();
    $article->filename = $value[0]['saved_as'];
}

However, I’d now like to loop through multiple images.

How would I do this?

I'm guessing once it comes to the Model (database) I'll need to create a new Table solely for Images. Right now, I'm just using a 'saved_as' column in my main table.

Thanks for any advice here :-)

As you noticed, $value is an array, it has an entry for each file uploaded (that is saved succesfully). Just loop over it.

Ooooh, very good call.

Sorry to be a bit dense, but where should I add my loop?

Should I loop this entire area:

if (Upload::is_valid())
{
    Upload::save();
    $value = Upload::get_files();
    $article->filename = $value[0]['saved_as'];
}

Assuming you have multiple files uploaded, you will have an entry in $value for each of the files.

Which also means you probably need a way to store multiple file names in your article. I can't see what $article is so I can't be more specific at this point.

Aaaah OK.

This is $article >> $article = Model_Article::forge();

I will run a foreach loop on the code portion I posted above & give it a try - thanks for the help so far :-)
