                    {
                        //  $this->render('registration',array('model'=>$model));
                        $this->redirect(array('/patientregistration/patientview','id'=>$model->register_id));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        $this->render('registration',array('model'=>$model));
    }
    public function uploadMultifile($model,$attr,$path)
    {
        /*
         * path when uploads folder is on site root.
         * $path='/uploads/doc/'
         */
        if($sfile=CUploadedFile::getInstances($model, $attr)){
            foreach ($sfile as $i=>$file){
                // $formatName=time().$i.'.'.$file->getExtensionName();
                $fileName = "{$sfile[$i]}";
                $formatName=time().$i.'_'.$fileName;
                $file->saveAs(Yii::app()->basePath.$path.$formatName);
                $ffile[$i]=$formatName;
            }
            return ($ffile);
        }
    }

Add in CActiveForm widget

'htmlOptions' => array(
        'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data',
    ),

Hence u can use this code to upload multiple files in yiiframework

Here is the simplest Code for Multiple File Upload in Yii Framework

code

In Controller

  public function actionCreate()

    {
        $model = new Upload;
       echo Yii::app()->basePath.'/Images/';
       if(isset($_POST['Upload']))
        {
    if($filez=$this->uploadMultifile($model,'Document','/Images/'))
   {

   $model->Document=implode(",", $filez);
   }
   $model->attributes=$_POST['Upload'];
    if ($model->save())
            {
               $this->redirect(array('view', 'id' => $model->idUpload));
        }
        }
        $this->render('create', array(
            'model' => $model,
         ));

    }
//Function for uploading and saving Multiple files
    public function uploadMultifile ($model,$attr,$path)
    {
    /*
     * path when uploads folder is on site root.
     * $path='/uploads/doc/'
     */
    if($sfile=CUploadedFile::getInstances($model, $attr)){

      foreach ($sfile as $i=>$file){  

        // $formatName=time().$i.'.'.$file->getExtensionName();
        $fileName = "{$sfile[$i]}";
          $formatName=time().$i.'_'.$fileName;
         $file->saveAs(Yii::app()->basePath.$path.$formatName);
         $ffile[$i]=$formatName;
         }
        return ($ffile);
       }
     }

In Form

<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
    'id'=>'upload-form',
    // Please note: When you enable ajax validation, make sure the corresponding
    // controller action is handling ajax validation correctly.
    // There is a call to performAjaxValidation() commented in generated controller code.
    // See class documentation of CActiveForm for details on this.
    'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
    'htmlOptions' => array(
        'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data',
    ),
)); ?>


<?php  $this->widget('CMultiFileUpload',
  array(
       'model'=>$model,
       'attribute' => 'Document',
       'accept'=>'jpg|gif|png|doc|docx|pdf',
       'denied'=>'Only doc,docx,pdf and txt are allowed', 
       'max'=>4,
       'remove'=>'[x]',
       'duplicate'=>'Already Selected',

       )
        );?>
