[Codeigniter]Multiple upload cant insert to database and not uploading to directory - codeigniter

Question

How to upload multiple images with Codeigniter 4.x ?
I tried to loop the do_upload function in my model but it's not working, and I tried another code that I got from GitHub but still, none of it works.
This is my view:
<div class="section-body">
<h2 class="section-title">Entry Group Passanger</h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<form action="<?= base_url('passanger/addgroup') ?>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<?php for($i=1;$i<=$pax['pax'];$i++) : ?>
<h5>Passanger ke-<?= $i ?></h5>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="fullname">Fullname</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name[]">
<?= form_error('name', '<small class="text-danger pl-3">', '</small>'); ?>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="gender">Gender</label>
<select class="form-control select2-input" name="gender">
<option>-- Select Gender --</option>
<option value="Male">Male</option>
<option value="Female">Female</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<?= form_error('gender', '<small class="text-danger pl-3">', '</small>'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-md-12 mb-4 mt-2">
<label for="">Upload Passport</label>
<input type="file" name="upload_passport[]" id="input-file-now" class="dropify" />
</div>
</div>
this is my model :
public function addGroup()
{
$user = $this->db->get_where('user', ['username' => $this->session->userdata('username')])->row_array();
$pax = $this->getPaxById();
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Jakarta');
$upload_image = $_FILES['upload_passport[]']['name'];
if ($upload_image) {
$config['upload_path'] = './assets/img/uploads/passport';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '2048';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
for($i=0;$i<$pax['pax'];$i++) {
if ($this->upload->do_upload('upload_passport[$i]')) {
$new_image = $this->upload->data('file_name');
} else {
echo $this->upload->display_errors();
}
}
}
$name = $this->input->post("name[]");
$gender = $this->input->post("gender[]");
$birthdate = $this->input->post("birthdate[]");
$no_passport = $this->input->post("no_passport[]");
$expire_passport = $this->input->post("expire_passport[]");
$destination = $this->input->post("destination[]");
$date = $this->input->post("date[]");
$dp1 = "0";
$dp2 = "0";
$lunas = "0";
$type = "Group";
$status = "Not Complete";
$permission = "0";
$upload_passport = $new_image;
$upload_dp1 = "default.png";
$upload_dp2 = "default.png";
$date_created = date('d/m/Y H:i:s');
$data = [];
$jumlah = $pax['pax'];
for($x=0;$x<$jumlah;$x++) {
array_push($data, [
'name'=>$this->input->post("name[$x]"),
'id_user'=> $user['id_user'],
'gender'=>$this->input->post("gender[$x]"),
'birthdate'=>$this->input->post("birthdate[$x]"),
'no_passport'=> $this->input->post("no_passport[$x]"),
'expire_passport'=> $this->input->post("expire_passport[$x]"),
'destination'=> $this->input->post("destination[$x]"),
'date'=> $this->input->post("date[$x]"),
'dp1'=> $dp1,
'dp2'=> $dp2,
'lunas'=> $lunas,
'pax'=> $pax['pax'],
'type'=> $type,
'status'=> $status,
'permission'=> $permission,
'upload_passport'=> $new_image,
'upload_dp1'=> $upload_dp1,
'upload_dp2'=> $upload_dp2,
'date_created'=> $date_created
]);
var_dump($data); die;
}
$this->db->insert_batch("passanger", $data);
}
What I want to get is:
array('','','upload_image'), array('','','upload_image')
When insert it to database but when I do it the upload just gets output null and it's not even uploaded to my uploads directory. I would really appreciate it if you help me, I've been stuck on this for 3 days. Thank you.

for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($_FILES['image']['name']) ; $i++) {
$_FILES['file']['name'] = $_FILES['image']['name'][$i];
$_FILES['file']['type'] = $_FILES['image']['type'][$i];
$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'[$i];
$_FILES['file']['error'] = $_FILES['image']['error'][$i];
$_FILES['file']['size'] = $_FILES['image']['size'][$i];
$config['upload_path'] = PRODUCT_IMAGE_UPLOAD_PATH;
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
$config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ($this->upload->do_upload('file')){
$images[] = $this->upload->data('file_name');
}else {
echo $this->upload->display_errors();
}
}

Try this in Codeigniter 4
in your controller add this
$image_model = new App\Models\Images(); // Your model name that is load your model
if($imagefiles = $this->request->getFiles())
{
foreach($imagefiles['uploadImages'] as $img)
{
if ($img->isValid() && ! $img->hasMoved())
{
$image_name = $img->getRandomName(); // This is applicable if you want to change the name of the images
if($image_model->save_images($image_name))
{
$img->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads/images/ads', $image_name); // WRITEPATH.'uploads/images/ads' is the part you wish to save you file to
}
}
}
}
In your Model e.g Image model i have a method call save_images()as this
use Codeigniter\Model
class Images extends Model{
public function save_images($image = '')
{
// We set the column 'name' to be allow for data entry into the db. note this is mandatory for now.
// hope it will change in feature. 'name' is the column in database table where you will save the image name
// this command the CI4 db to select only the image column in the database table
$this->allowedFields = ['name'];
return $this->db->table('images')->insert(['name' => $image]);
// echo $sql = $this->db->getLastQuery();
}
}
Then in your html file input, do this
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="file" name="uploadImages[]" multiple>
</div>
</form>
I hope this will work for you
