Question

I have a file upload form set up with the HTML5 multiple attribute.

However, the form still only uploads a single file. Do i need to create some sort of a looping function in the php or is there another way of doing this?

Here’s my code…

form:

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">        
       <input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="file[]" id="file" />
       <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />    
</form>

php:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {           
foreach($_FILES['newsImage'] as $file){ 
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {


    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
}
}
?>

for ($i = 0; $i < count($_FILES['newsImage']['name']); $i++) {
    // handle upload
}
