Question

<form action="entergallery.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<select id="photolib" name="photolib">
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM `galleries`";
$res = mysqli_query($db, $query);
while($rows = mysqli_fetch_row($res)){
    echo '<option value="'.$rows[3].'">'.$rows[1].'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
<input type="file" name="uploads[]" multiple/>
<input type="submit" id="upload" name="upload" value="Upload"/>
</form>

For some reason this form always passing a length of 5. The enter gallery.php is just count{$_FILES[‘uploads’]); and it always outputs 5 even if you don’t enter any files. i have no clue how to solve this. I’ve tested this in multiple browsers and have the same problem in all
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Instead of this

count{$_FILES['uploads'])

use

count($_FILES['uploads']['name'])

you will get the actual count.
