How to Upload Multiple Files in PHP?

[SKREECH]

Hi friends,
Your last time help was really grateful, so I thought to post my queries on this forum. Now I am stuck while uploading the multiple files in PHP. I know to upload a single file, but when it comes to multiple I get screwed. I have tried to do lot of different things but was not getting an appropriate results. So please tell me how to Upload Multiple Files in PHP? Hope that someone would reply me soon.!!

Downloading multiple files is possible using different names in the name attribute of the input tag. It is also possible to download multiple files simultaneously and obtain information in tabular form. For this you must use the syntax table in the HTML tag names, same as multiple selections and checkboxes.

<form action="file-upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Upload multiple files: <br /> 
<input name="userfile[]" type="file" /> <br /> 
<input name="userfile[]" type="file" /> <br /> 
<input type="submit" value="Send the value" /> 
</ form>

When you submit the form which is provided by the 'MELTRONICS', the arrays $ _FILES [ 'userfile'], $ _FILES [ 'userfile'] [ 'name'] and $ _FILES [ 'userfile'] [ 'size'] will be initialized. $ _FILES is a Variable File Download via HTTP. An associative array of values downloaded to the current script via HTTP POST method. $ _FILES Contains the same information, but is not superglobal. This is a 'superglobal', or automatic global, variable. This simply means that it is available in all contexts of the script. It is not necessary to do global $ variable to access it within functions or methods.

Lets take an example, so that it would be easy for you to understand. Suppose the file / home / test / Demo1.html and / home / test / Demo2.out have been downloaded. In this case, $ _FILES [ 'userfile'] [ 'name'] [0] contains Demo1.html and $ _FILES [ 'userfile'] [ 'name'] [1] contains Demo2.out. Where $ _FILES Contains the same information, but is not superglobal. Note that $ _FILES and $ _POST are different variables and that PHP handles them. Ensure that filename is a file downloaded by HTTP POST. If the file is valid, it is moved to destination.

I am providing you with the script of PHP to upload the multiple files. The following script demonstrates the same.

while(list($key,$value) = each($_FILES[images][name]))
{
if(!empty($value)){   
$filename = $value;   

$filename=str_replace(" ","_",$filename);

$add = "upimg/$filename";   
//echo $_FILES[images][type][$key];     
// echo "<br>";                           
copy($_FILES[images][tmp_name][$key], $add);     
chmod("$add",077);                
}
}

There is not much difference in uploading multiple files in PHP when compared to uploading a single file. Here is how the HTML code would look with multiple file uploads :

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>" method="POST">
File 1: <input name="file[]" type="file"><br>
File 2: <input name="file[]" type="file"><br>
File 3: <input name="file[]" type="file"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

And the PHP Script would be :

<?php

for($i = 0; $i != 5; $i++)
{

        if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$i]))
        {

                echo "tmp_name: ".$_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$i]."<br>";

                echo "name: ".$_FILES["file"]["name"][$i]."<br>";

                echo "size: ".$_FILES["file"]["size"][$i]."<br>";

                echo "<br><br>";

        }

}

?>
