Multiple image upload, resize and saveinto db using codeigniter

Question

I am trying to upload multiple image using codeigniter. here is the scenario

How can i upload multiple image and save image location into db (cause i want to show uploaded image in my view file) and before upload I also want to rename my images and resize them into 'thumb' size.

here is my controller:

    function uploadRoomImage(){

    $i = 0;
    $files = array();
    foreach ($_FILES as $key => $value) {
        if(!empty($value['name']))
        {

            $config['upload_path'] = 'assets/img/upload/rooms/';
            $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|jpeg';
            $config['file_name'] = $filename;
            $config['max_size'] = '2000';
            $config['remove_spaces'] = true;
            $config['overwrite'] = false;

            $this->upload->initialize($config);

            if (!$this->upload->do_upload($key))
            {
                $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
            }
            else
            {
                $files[$i] = $this->upload->data();
                $i++;

                //load image library
                $this->load->library('image_lib');

                $config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
                $config['source_image'] = $image_data['full_path'];
                $config['new_image'] = $image_data['file_path'].'room_thumb/';
                $config['maintain_ratio'] = FALSE;
                $config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
                $config['thumb_marker'] = '_thumb';
                // $config['overwrite'] = false;
                $config['width'] = 280;
                $config['height'] = 280;

                //initialize upload library using the config settings defined above.
                $this->image_lib->initialize($config);

                if (!$this->image_lib->resize()) {
                    $error = array('error' => $this->image_lib->display_errors());
                } else {
                    $this->image_lib->resize();
                }
                //i want send each image file location into db in here after resizing each image
            }
        }           
    }       

i can upload multiple image but i cann't send their location into my db and i cannt resize them also. plz help

It looks like your $config['source_image'] = $image_data['full_path']; misses the file name attached to the full path. You should also include that for the $config['new_image'] .

And if you want to upload the data to your database, you could probably create a model which handles that operation.
