Multiple Uploads - can it be done in a loop way?

shelbytll

Hi,
I'm doing a multiple upload form. Let say I have 9 upload fields, do I really have to do this:

$handle = opendir( $dir );
copy($file0, $dir.$file0_name);
copy($file1, $dir.$file1_name);
copy($file2, $dir.$file2_name);
copy($file3, $dir.$file3_name);
copy($file4, $dir.$file4_name);
copy($file5, $dir.$file5_name);
copy($file6, $dir.$file6_name);
copy($file7, $dir.$file7_name);
copy($file8, $dir.$file8_name);
closedir($handle);

Can it be done in a loop way?

//Upload form
<html>
<body>
<form action="loop.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
// Change the name of the files into an array
<input type="file" name="usrfile[]">
</form>
</body>
</html>
// loop.php
 $c = count ($_FILES ['usrfile'] ['name']);
 for ($i = 0; $i < $c; $i++) {
 $usrfile_name = $_FILES['usrfile']['name'][$i];
 $usrfile_tmp = $_FILES['usrfile']['tmp_name'][$i];
 $location = "/file/upload/dir/ .$usrfile_name";
 move_uploaded_file ($usrfile_tmp, $location);
 }

This should work for you. You might also want to write a loop to process the form so that only the amount of spaces they use are displayed.

Bear in mind that this code is off the thumb and might not work as my head expects it tooooo but:

<?php

...
$handle = opendir ($dir);
for( $i=0; $i <= 8; $i++)
{
  eval ("copy (\$file$i, \$dir.\$file$i_name);");
}

?>

HTH,
