variable expansion problem with multiple

[dtroxell]

Hello,

I am trying to control an unknown number of identical <input type=”file”> formfields in a file-upload form.
The quantity of file upload formfields is dynamically created and allocated.

I can work the file upload through proper PHP methods to identify:

$uploadfile
$uploadfile_name
$uploadfile_type
etc…

However, these values update only one record per form submit/iteration - I need to update multiple records with unique and indentifiable name values.

Assigning a record ID to each as an $uploadfile value doesn’t work. After recursing the form, I am unable access the $uploadfile by attaching a secondary value such as:

$uploadfile$recordID
$uploadfile$recordID_name
$uploadfile_$recordID_type
etc…

Is there a variable expansion method that will work for this?

why dont you use arrays ?

<input type='file' name='file[]'>
<input type='file' name='file[]'>
<input type='file' name='file[]'>

foreach($file as $pos => $val)
echo "
{$file_name[$pos]}:{$file_size[$pos]}
";
