Multiple file upload in php

Question

I want to upload multiple files and store them in a folder and get the path and store it in the database    Any good example you looked for doing multiple file upload      Note  Files can be of any type

It s not that different from uploading one file -   FILES is an array containing any and all uploaded files   There s a chapter in the PHP manual  Uploading multiple files   If you want to enable multiple file uploads with easy selection on the user s end  selecting multiple files at once instead of filling in upload fields  take a look at SWFUpload  It works differently from a normal file upload form and requires Flash to work  though  SWFUpload was obsoleted along with Flash  Check the other  newer answers for the now-correct approach

I know this is an old post but some further explanation might be useful for someone trying to upload multiple files    Here is what you need to do    Input name must be be defined as an array i e  name  inputName    Input element must have multiple  multiple  or just multiple In your PHP file use the syntax    FILES  inputName    param   index    Make sure to look for empty file names and paths  the array might contain empty strings  Use array filter   before count    Here is a down and dirty example  showing just relevant code   HTML    lt input name  upload    type  file  multiple  multiple    gt    PHP      files   array filter   FILES  upload    name       something like that to be used before processing files      Count   of uploaded files in array  total   count   FILES  upload    name         Loop through each file for   i 0    i  lt   total    i            Get the temp file path    tmpFilePath     FILES  upload    tmp name    i        Make sure we have a file path   if   tmpFilePath               Setup our new file path      newFilePath      uploadFiles       FILES  upload    name    i          Upload the file into the temp dir     if move uploaded file  tmpFilePath   newFilePath              Handle other code here                Hope this helps out

Here is a function I wrote which returns a more understandable   FILES array   function getMultiple FILES           FILE   array        foreach   FILES as  name   gt   file            foreach  file as  property   gt   keys                foreach  keys as  key   gt   value                      FILE  name   key   property     value                                    return   FILE

Simple is that  just count the files array first  then in while loop you can easily do this like    count   count   FILES  item file    name       now you got total number of files right   In while loop do like this    i   0  while  i lt  count        Upload one by one like we do normally      i
