  1. first off check out these pages on PHP.net

    1. file upload info
    2. move_uploaded_file

    But to get you started here’s a couple stub files.

    uploadForm.html

    <html> <body>     <form action="processStuff.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">         username: <input type="text" name="username" />         password: <input type="password" name="password" />                  <p>             <input type="file" name="uploadFile[]" /><br />             <input type="file" name="uploadFile[]" /><br />             <input type="file" name="uploadFile[]" /><br />             <!-- Add as many of these as you want -->         </p>                  <p>             <input type="submit" />         </p>     </form> </body> </html>

    processStuff.php

    <pre> <?php      echo '<h2>Username & password</h2>'     echo "Username: {$_POST['username']}\nPassword: {$_POST['password']}";     echo '<hr />';      echo '<h2>Uploaded files</h2>'       foreach($_FILES['uploadFile']['tmp_name'] as $i => $tempUploadPath) {         if (empty($tempUploadPath)) {             // this <input type="file" /> was "blank"... no file selected         } else {             // a file was uploaded             echo '<strong>A file named "', $_FILES['uploadFile']['name'][$i], "\" was uploaded</strong>\n";             echo "\ttemporarily stored at: ", $tempUploadPath, "\n";                         echo "\tmime type: ", $_FILES['uploadFile']['type'][$i], "\n";             echo "\tsize: ", $_FILES['uploadFile']['size'][$i], " bytes\n";                      echo "\terror code",              ((empty($_FILES['uploadFile']['size'][$i])                      ? '<em>no errror</em>'                      : $_FILES['uploadFile']['size'][$i])),              "\n\n";              // do something useful with the uploaded file          // access it via $tempUploadPath and use move_uploaded_file() to move          //     it out of the temp path before you manipulate it in any way!!!!!         // see https://www.php.net/features.file-upload         // and https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php         }            }  ?> </pre>

    The HTML file shows how to set the enctype of the <form> & the second form show you how to access the submitted username & password & finally how to loop thru every uploaded file.

    As noted you MUST move the file(s) ASAP. They’re uploaded to a temp location and the system will delete them unless you deal with them. So move ’em somewhere first then do whatever you need w/ them.

    Hoep this helps
