Question

for($i = 0; $i < $uploadsNeeded; $i++){ 

 $file_name = $_FILES['uploadFile'. $i]['name']; 
 $file_name = stripslashes($file_name); 
 $file_name = str_replace("'","",$file_name);
 $uploaddir = "media/files/".$_FILES['uploadFile'. $i]['name']; 
 $copy = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadFile'. $i]['tmp_name'], $uploaddir); 
 if($copy){ 
      $res = db_res("INSERT INTO `atest` SET `filename`='$file_name', `article`='$ArticleUri'");
  } 
}

For some reason thing only uploading one of the selected files and inserting only one filename in the database. If there a better way to go through this loop to catch all of them?

There are 3 comments above, including mine: basically they are all saying the same thing. You haven’t provided enough information for us to help you diagnose the problem. So I’d recommend taking a first step to debugging:

Check the values of your variables

You can do this with either print_r for variables like $_FILES (to see what files your server is getting info on) and simple echo statements to check what directory files are being saved to. Try adding a echo $uploaddir; after you define the variable to make sure its what you expect.

Also, check the $uploadsNeeded varible; you don’t show how or where you’re defining it, if its not the number you expect, that could be your problem right there.
