Multiple HTTP Uploads

[ingramj]

Hello,

I am fairly new to PHP and have question about file uploading. I can successfully upload one image. But on my site the user has the choice to upload multiple files. I loop through a SELECT box getting the number of pics they want to upload (i.e. 1,2,3,4, etc.). My issue is how do I reference a texbox object array in the "copy($HTTP_POST_FILES["txtPicFile"]["tmp_name"]" statement?

Would it be something like this:

for($i=0; $i < $picQty; $i++)
{
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES["txtPicFile"]["tmp_name"], "$abpath/$txtPicFile_name")";
}

Thanks,
Joshua Ingram

I don't get your question...

if the select box contains the number of pics, shouldn't that value go into the for loop?
e.g.

for ($i=0; $i < $HTTP_GET_VARS['selectBoxName']; $i++)

Also, this won't work:
$HTTP_POST_FILES["txtPicFile"]["tmp_name"]
It probably should be something like this:
$HTTP_POST_FILES["{$txtPicFile[$i]}"]["{$tmp_name[$i]}"]

Hi Diego,

Thanks for your reply. The number of pics (i.e the value from the selectbox) is being passed via the URL to the page that processes and uploads the files. So, that value is in the for loop. In a nutshell I just don't know how to reference an object array within PHP. I tried what you recommended buy it didn't work. Got a parse error.
