Question

I want any php script which can demonstrate me how to upload multiple files in PHP. In my application I have given a link “Add Image” & ‘Remove Image’, on click of “Add Image” I am adding a new upload field on the page using javascript, using which user can upload more and more images, no limit on number of images for now. On click of delete i am removing that element.

I am just not getting the concept on how to process them in the POST request in PHP. I know in HTML if we give the name of field like myimages[] then it will create a PHP array, but how to process this.

I don’t want to use AJAX/JavaScript for uploading, want to do it with traditional POST request in PHP.

If anyone have any link or code which shows such functionality, then pleas provide it will be really helpful.

Thanks!

Name file input fields as file[] in HTML, then just run a loop from 0 do count($_FILES) in PHP…

for($i = 0; $i < count($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']); $i++){
    $tmp = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i];
    $name = md5(microtime());

 if(move_uploaded_file($tmp, "dir/$name.jpg")){
    echo "File '$tmp' uploaded successfully";
 }else{
    echo "Uploading '$tmp' failed";
 }
}
