multi image upload in custom component for joomla - joomla

Question

I have tried http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_file_uploader_in_your_component but first it shows Error: 500 after some research I have removed code
"'.$session->getName().'" : "'.$session->getId().'",
"format" : "raw"
and error is gone. Now Image is not uploading anywhere (I have set path '/images/' folder) I am confuse in code for uploading image PART 5 where to use this code?

Answer 1

function storeImageFile()
{
jimport('joomla.filesystem.file');
jimport('joomla.filesystem.folder' );
$path = 'PATH_GOES_HERE'.'designs'.DS;
$folder_permissions = "0755";
$folder_permissions = octdec((int)$folder_permissions);
//create folder if not exists
if (!JFolder::exists($path)){
JFolder::create($path, $folder_permissions);
}
$file = JRequest::getVar('design_images', null, 'files',
$count = count($file['name']);
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
{
//$i is the array position of the $_FILES array
if(empty($file['tmp_name'][$i]))
{
return false;
}
//Clean up filename to get rid of strange characters like spaces etc
$filename = JFile::makeSafe($file['name'][$i]);
//setting source and destination
$temporary_name = $file['tmp_name'][$i];
$filename = str_replace(' ', '_', $file['name'][$i]);
$dest = $path.$filename;
if(JFile::upload($temporary_name, $dest))
{
echo "File Upload Successful";
return true;
}
}
}
