[Resolved] multiple upload and move_uploaded_file() in one click?

[jasonmills58]

this worked fine for one file at a time, then i tried to name the form elements like an array,
so i could upload four files at once, and it all went to crud. Any help?

thanks!

<td><form action="uploadReportAction.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1">

<tr>
<td class="formContent"><input name="form[uploads][]" type="file" size="30"></td>
<td class="formContent"><input name="form[uploads][]" type="file" size="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="formContent"><input name="form[uploads][]" type="file" size="30"></td>
<td class="formContent"><input name="form[uploads][]" type="file" size="30"></td>
</tr>
<?php
$file_dir = "/home/httpd/vhosts/babysteps.tv/httpdocs/counterpoint/uploads";
$file_url = "http://babysteps.tv/counterpoint/uploads";
foreach( $_FILES as $file_name => $file_array ) {
	print "path: ".$file_array['tmp_name']."<br>\n";
	print "name: ".$file_array['name']."<br>\n";
	print "type: ".$file_array['type']."<br>\n";
	print "size ".$file_array['size']."<br>\n";
	move_uploaded_file( $file_array['tmp_name'], $file_dir.'/'.$file_array['name'] )
		or die ("Couldn't Copy");
}
?>

I have all those prints in there just to double check at this point. They'll come out in the final version...
All of them just printed the word "Array".

Put numbers inbetween those square brackets: form[uploads][0], form[uploads][1], etc.
Do you have register_globals turned on? If not, you can't do that...and I'm pretty sure what you can't name form elements like that.

Same results. I've used that format before, but not for uploading files.

I think it has something to do with the fact that an uploaded file is already an array,
and I have to parse them each individually. I'm just not sure how to do that...

[jasonmills58]

turns out all you have to do is give the form elements unique names. for instance:

<tr> 
<td class="formContent"><input name="uploads1" type="file" size="30"></td> 
<td class="formContent"><input name="uploads2" type="file" size="30"></td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td class="formContent"><input name="uploads3" type="file" size="30"></td> 
<td class="formContent"><input name="uploads4" type="file" size="30"></td> 
</tr> 
<?php
$file_dir = "/home/httpd/vhosts/babysteps.tv/httpdocs/counterpoint/uploads";
$file_url = "http://babysteps.tv/counterpoint/uploads";
foreach( $_FILES as $file_name => $file_array ) {
	print "path: ".$file_array['tmp_name']."<br>\n";
	print "name: ".$file_array['name']."<br>\n";
	print "type: ".$file_array['type']."<br>\n";
	print "size: ".$file_array['size']."<br>\n";
	move_uploaded_file( $file_array['tmp_name'], $file_dir.'/'.$file_array['name'] )
		or die ("Couldn't Copy");
}

?>

This worked great!
cheers!
