Controller (Upload_files.php)

load->model('file');
    }
    
    function index(){
        $data = array();
        if($this->input->post('fileSubmit') && !empty($_FILES['accountProfiles']['name'])){
            $filesCount = count($_FILES['accountProfiles']['name']);
            for($i = 0; $i < $filesCount; $i++){
                $_FILES['accountProfile']['name'] = $_FILES['accountProfiles']['name'][$i];
                $_FILES['accountProfile']['type'] = $_FILES['accountProfiles']['type'][$i];
                $_FILES['accountProfile']['tmp_name'] = $_FILES['accountProfiles']['tmp_name'][$i];
                $_FILES['accountProfile']['error'] = $_FILES['accountProfiles']['error'][$i];
                $_FILES['accountProfile']['size'] = $_FILES['accountProfiles']['size'][$i];

                $uploadPath = 'plugins/files/';
                $config['upload_path'] = $uploadPath;
                $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
                
                $this->load->library('upload', $config);
                $this->upload->initialize($config);
                if($this->upload->do_upload('accountProfile')){
                    $fileData = $this->upload->data();
                    $profileInformation[$i]['file_name'] = $fileData['file_name'];
                    $profileInformation[$i]['created'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
                    $profileInformation[$i]['updated_at'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
                }
            }
            
            if(!empty($profileInformation)){
                
                $insert = $this->file->insert($profileInformation);
                $displayMessage = $insert?' Good Luck Files uploaded successfully.':' sorry Some problem occurred, please try again.';
                $this->session->set_flashdata('displayMessage',$displayMessage);
            }
        }
        //Get files data from database
        $data['files'] = $this->file->getRows();
        //Pass the files data to view
        $this->load->view('upload_files/index', $data);
    }

}

Model (File.php)

db->select('id,file_name,created');
        $this->db->from('files');
        if($id){
            $this->db->where('id',$id);
            $query = $this->db->get();
            $result = $query->row_array();
        }else{
            $this->db->order_by('created','desc');
            $query = $this->db->get();
            $result = $query->result_array();
        }
        return !empty($result)?$result:false;
    }
    
    public function insert($data = array()){
        $insert = $this->db->insert_batch('files',$data);
        return $insert?true:false;
    }
    
}

View
