HTML

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="mainform">
Imagine 1:<br>
 <input type="file" name="img1" id="img1"><br>
     <br><br>     
Imagine 2 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img2" id="img2"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 3 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img3" id="img3"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 4 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img4" id="img4"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 5 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img5" id="img5"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 6 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img6" id="img6"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 7 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img7" id="img7"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 8 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img8" id="img8"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 9 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img9" id="img9"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 10 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img10" id="img10"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 11 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img11" id="img11"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 12 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img12" id="img12"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 13 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img13" id="img13"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 14 :<br>
 <input type="file" name="img14" id="img14"><br>
     <br>
 Imagine 15 :<br>
 <textarea id="insert" name="content"></textarea>
 <input type="file" name="img15" id="img15"><br>
 </form>
 <div id="seeimg">
 </div>

So far the scripts it's showing just the image uploaded on first input file <input type="file" name="img1" id="img1"> ,and if i keep changing the image of the first input it's changing the next instead of the first one.
Jquery

   function readURL(input) {
    if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
        var reader = new FileReader();

        reader.onload = function (e) {
            console.log(e.target.result+" , "+i);
            $('#seeimg #img'+i).attr('src', e.target.result);
        }

        reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
    }
}


$("form#mainform #img"+i).change(function(){
    readURL(this);
    i++;
});

TL;DR the scripts it's working just for the first file input and it keeps changing others img src if i upload another image.

Answer 1

I tried hard understand the code ,but i could get that you are having multiple file and you want to show the preview to the user as show as the file is uploaded .

The approach is correct,but there are certain basic mistake , you are using the same id for the img and input type file , this will work out, moreover i could couple of more bugs. To help you to get a over , i have modified you code, which will show preview of different images.
