Question

I want to link multiple fileuploads with checkboxes in php.

this is what i have:

<input type="file" name="file_upload[]"  /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="1"> linked to file-upload 1 <br/>
<input type="file" name="file_upload[]"  /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="1"> linked to file-upload 2 <br/>
<input type="file" name="file_upload[]"  /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="2"> linked to file-upload 3 <br/>
<input type="file" name="file_upload[]"  /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="3"> linked to file-upload 4 <br/>

I want to do something when a file is uploaded and the related checkbox is checked in PHP,
how do i link the file input type with the checkbox?

Answer 1

You could combine them under one name array.

<input type='file' name='combined[1][file]'/>
<input type='checkbox' name='combined[1][check]'/>

Which can be accessed in php with:

$_REQUEST['combined'][1]['file']
