uploading many images from array

[kayelle]

Hi,

I have a form with hundreds of possible image uploads. Since I don't want to test for each one individually I'm grabbing them through an array. Seems like I should just be able to pass the $key to $HTTP_POST_FILES but it isn't recognizing it. The uploaded file is 0. My register_globals are turned off and I can't turn them on because of other features of the site. I haven't had much experience with uploading multiple files. It'd be easier if I could name the input fields "userfile[]" but I need the specific names I've set up so I can use them later on. Heres a snippet:

foreach( $HTTP_POST_FILES as $filename => $file_array ) {

if ($file_array[name]) {

$img_name= "$report_id.$file_array[name]";

$strFile = "/path/$img_name";

copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['$filename']['tmp_name'], $strFile) or die("Could not copy");

}

Can vars not be passed to $HTTP_POST_FILES?

Anyway around this would be helpful too.

Thanks

Try using $_FILES[] instead... you might not be submitting in POST.

Also, try using print_r() on both to see their content.

This is what the array looks like for two images:

Array ( [O_Overall_Image] => Array ( [name] => backhoe.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /var/tmp/php000297 [error] => 0 [size] => 45632 ) [O_Test_Image] => Array ( [name] => cplaner.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /var/tmp/phpa00297 [error] => 0 [size] => 35060 ) )

This is my most recent code (it dies because it doesn't recognize the type):

$img_array = array();
$img_arr = $_FILES;

if (($FILES['$key']['type'] =="image/jpeg")
||($FILES['$key']['type'] =="image/jpg")) {

if ($value) {
$img_array = array_merge($img_array,array($key => $value));
}

} else {
die ("Image is in the wrong format. Must be a .jpg or .jpeg. ");
}

}

Thanks

I want about it a slightly different way instead:

$file_dir = "../images/equipment";

foreach( $HTTP_POST_FILES as $file_name => $file_array ) {

if ($value) {
$imgname = "$report_id.$file_array[name]";

if (is_uploaded_file( $file_array['tmp_name'] )) {

move_uploaded_file( $file_array['tmp_name'], "$file_dir/$imgname") or die ("Couldn't copy");

}

}

}

I'll add type validation as well.

Thanks for your help. I'd like to add that this is one of the best forums I've ever used. So much info at our fingertips. Take care.😃

Dear Friend,

download the book php4 develperguide from the osborne.com site and in that one you can get the free code of uploading the array of images
