                <input type = "file" class="form-control"  name = "userfile1" id="userfile1"  size = "20" />
        </div>
 </div>

Controller :

 $this->do_upload_landscape($data['package']['pID'] ,$this->input->post('userfile'));
 $this->do_upload_thumb($data['package']['pID'] ,$this->input->post('userfile1'));

function to upload first picture

public function do_upload_landscape($member_id,$imageland)
        {
            $data['package'] = $this->Package_model->get_package_for_edit($member_id);
            $new_name = $data['package']['pID'].$data['package']['packgeID'] ;
            $config['file_name'] = $new_name;
            $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
            $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
            $config['max_size'] = '1000';
            $this->load->library('upload', $config);
            if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
            {
                $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
                $data['_view'] = 'package/add';
                $this->load->view('admin/layouts/main',$data,$error);
            }
            else
            {
                $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data($imageland));
                $file_data= $data['upload_data'];
                $params = array(
                    'files' => site_url().'uploads/'.$file_data['file_name']
                );
               $result= $this->Package_model->update_package($member_id,$params);
            }
        }

Function to upload 2nd picture

public function do_upload_thumb($member_id,$thumb)
        {   
            $data1['package'] = $this->Package_model->get_package_for_edit($member_id);
            $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
            $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
            $config['max_size'] = '1000';
            $this->load->library('upload', $config);
            if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
            {
                $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
                $data1['_view'] = 'package/add';
                $this->load->view('admin/layouts/main',$data1,$error);
            }
            else
            {
                $data1 = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data($thumb));
                $file_data= $data1['upload_data'];
                $params = array(

                    'files_thumb' => site_url().'uploads/'.$file_data['file_name']
                );
                $result= $this->Package_model->update_package($member_id,$params);

            }
        }

Problem : Both times, I'm getting the same picture. Picture value from view page comes fine , but when uploding , it always gets the value of first picture. In db , if the first picture name is 56R45 , then the 2nd picture name is 56R451, that means same pictured added two times . Thanks

You need to specify the filename in the $this->upload->do_upload() . you should pass the name of the input element. e.g

<input type = "file" class="form-control"  name = "userfile" id="userfile"  size = "20" />

then you must call the $this->upload->do_upload() with the name of the file like this $this->upload->do_upload('userfile'). Same for the second file input element.

Tip: you should refactor your file uploading code. Instead of using two separate function you can make one function and call it any times you want.

you must initialize the upload file and add this

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

after of

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

in both function like this

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