Question

I am currently working on php project where I need to upload files, but I have no way of knowing how many files the user will upload.

There will be one file upload by default on the form with a link to add another file upload. When the form is submitted how would I post all of the files to the php script if I don’t know the number of files that are being uploaded.

Does it work in the same way as a checkbox array so you could have something like

<input type="file" name"myFile[]" />
<input type="file" name"myFile[]" />

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes, works fine.

try to do this, after post form with files:

<pre>
    <?php print_r($_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name']); ?>
</pre>

You will get a array. Access each file info with their index:

$_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name'][0];
$_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name'][1];
