In my view input elements looks like this

<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file_1" />
<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file_2" />
<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file_3" />
<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file_4" />
<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file_5" />
<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file_6" />

Tried anything? Post your code so far. Also, you can find many similar questions here on SO; doing a multiple upload witht he native upload class is almost just a matter of using a loop. For example, stackoverflow.com/questions/1908247/… — Damien Pirsy

You can upload any number of files

$config['upload_path'] = 'upload/Main_category_product/';
$path=$config['upload_path'];
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '1024';
$config['max_width'] = '1920';
$config['max_height'] = '1280';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);

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

    if (!empty($value['tmp_name']) && $value['size'] > 0) {

        if (!$this->upload->do_upload($key)) {

            $errors = $this->upload->display_errors();
            flashMsg($errors);

        } else {
            // Code After Files Upload Success GOES HERE
        }
    }
}

And try using HTML like this:

<input type="file" name="file1" id="file_1" />
<input type="file" name="file2" id="file_2" />
<input type="file" name="file3" id="file_3" />

Sorry I cant answer my self .. Now I am getting this error You did not select a file to upload.

Always try a code with low level of test data. First change your name of file tags to anything file1,file2.... and then try with minimum size of images.

This is not the correct solution. The Upload library uses the $_FILES superglobal for validation and error handling, and always treats it as a single file upload.
