Question

i have a upload script to upload some files to a directory. every file runs through a loop and will be checked if there are errors with the size or ending or even not. in case of no error it will be uploaded.

if (is_array($_FILES ['image'] ['tmp_name'])) {
    foreach ( $_FILES ['image'] ['tmp_name'] as $key => $val ) {
        ...

        if (! in_array ( $fileExt, $allowedExtensions )) {
            $errors [$fileName] [] = "format not accepted";
        }...

            if ((count ( $errors1 ) == 0) && (count ( $errors ) === 0))  {
               if (move_uploaded_file ( $fileTemp, $fileDst )) {
                //...                               
            }
        }   
     }
}

my question is, is there a way to count the number of the uploaded files that successfully ran through that loop? thanks a lot.

You need to count each successful upload.

like below:

   if (is_array($_FILES ['image'] ['tmp_name'])) {
    $Counter=0;     // initialize counter variable
        foreach ( $_FILES ['image'] ['tmp_name'] as $key => $val ) {

            $fileName = $_FILES ['image'] ['name'] [$key];
            $fileSize = $_FILES ['image'] ['size'] [$key];
            $fileTemp = $_FILES ['image'] ['tmp_name'] [$key];

            $fileExt = pathinfo ( $fileName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION );
            $fileExt = strtolower ( $fileExt );

            if (empty ( $fileName ))
            continue;

            if (! in_array ( $fileExt, $allowedExtensions )) {
                $errors [$fileName] [] = "format not accepted";
            }...

                if ((count ( $errors1 ) == 0) && (count ( $errors ) === 0))  {
                   if (move_uploaded_file ( $fileTemp, $fileDst )) {
                    //...           
                   $Counter++;       // increment if successful upload
                }
            }   
         }
    }

echo $Counter;  //it will give total count of successfully uploaded files
