Multiple image uploading using single input in CodeIgniter

CodeIgniter is a PHP framework, CodeIgniter has a number of helpers and libraries , which will reduce the development time and we can write more reliable and bugs free Code. Here ,The post is about uploading files in CodeIgniter, CodeIgniter has used upload library , by using this Class we can upload files on server easily.

For Uploading a files, as usually we need a Simple HTML from, with a input field and submit button.

In CodeIgniter views folder Create a new file called uploadform_view.php as below.

<html>

<head>

<title>Upload Form</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php echo form_open_multipart('imageupload/doupload');?>

<?php echo form_close() ?>

</body>

</html>

Create A New Controller file in Controller folder : controllers/imageupload.php

class Imageupload extends CI_Controller {

function __construct()

{

parent::__construct();

$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));

}

function index()

{

$this->load->view('imageupload_view', array('error' => ' ' ));

}

function doupload() {

$name_array = array();

$count = count($_FILES['userfile']['size']);

foreach($_FILES as $key=>$value)

for($s=0; $s<=$count-1; $s++) {

$_FILES['userfile']['name']=$value['name'][$s];

$_FILES['userfile']['type'] = $value['type'][$s];

$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] = $value['tmp_name'][$s];

$_FILES['userfile']['error'] = $value['error'][$s];

$_FILES['userfile']['size'] = $value['size'][$s];

$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';

$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';

$config['max_size'] = '100';

$config['max_width'] = '1024';

$config['max_height'] = '768';

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

$this->upload->do_upload();

$data = $this->upload->data();

$name_array[] = $data['file_name'];

}

$names= implode(',', $name_array);

/* $this->load->database();

$db_data = array('id'=> NULL,

'name'=> $names);

$this->db->insert('testtable',$db_data);

*/ print_r($names);

$currencySymbol = Mage::app()->getLocale()->currency($currencyCode)->getSymbol();

var_dump($currencySymbol);

Try this also

$CurrencyCode = Mage::getModel('core/config_data')
->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter('path','currency/options/allow')
->addFieldToFilter('scope_id',)->getData();
$currencies_array = explode(',',$CurrencyCode[0]['value']);

Edit links inside My Account page via xml files

The Magento account page is the screen shown to the user after login.
In this page there is a menu with various items.

Depending on the website, not all the items presents in the menu are useful, some of them could confuse the customer.
By default the items presents in the menu are:

Account Dashboard
Account Information
Address Book
My Orders
Billing Agreements
Recurring Profiles
My Product Reviews
My Tags
My Wishlist
My Downloadable Products
Newsletter Subscriptions

Magento doesn't implement directly in the administration backend a manager for this type of editing, so we have to edit the source files.
WARNING: the Magento layout edits are saved in the CMS cache, remember to refresh the Magento cache after every edit (or disable the cache temporally).

A little tip before the end

If some functions aren't used at all in your website, more than hiding only a menu item, it's better to directly disable this function. As example if you're sure that the function Tag will not be used, you could disalbe it going on System -> Configuration -> Advanced and disabling the Mage_Tag module.
