Multiple Image Upload - What am I doing wrong?

sgtpepper

Hello,

I am trying to upload 1 or more images from a form too the server...and add the file name to a mysql database.

I am able to get it to work for 1 file at a time....but what if I want to add more than 1? My code is below:


if($_FILES['mainphoto']['name'] == '') {  

       echo 'You did not select a photo to upload';  

	   }  

elseif($_FILES['mainphoto']['size'] == 0) {  

   	   echo 'There appears to be a problem with the photo your are uploading';  

       }  

elseif($_FILES['mainphoto']['size'] > $MAX_FILE_SIZE) {  

        echo 'The photo you selected is too large';  

       }  

elseif(!getimagesize($_FILES['mainphoto']['tmp_name'])) {  

        echo 'The photo you selected is not a valid image file';  

       }  

else {  

   $uploaddir = '/httpd/customers/virtual/mydomain.com/htdocs/search/rental_photos/'; // remember the trailing slash! 
   $uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['mainphoto']['name'];

   if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['mainphoto']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))

{  
  print "<body>
<div align='center'>Your listing has been added<br>
  <img src='$photo_name'></div>
</body>
</html>";  

   }  

   else {  

       echo 'There was a problem uploading your file.<br>';  

   }  

}

It works just fine..... mainphoto is the form variable.....but how should I handle the other images from the form photo2,photo3,photo4?

Oh.... I should mention that this

$photo_name = $_FILES[mainphoto][name];

Is on the top of the script, so I can get the file name properly.....otherwise I get the output of Array

How,

use print_r($FILES) on top of the script. This will print out the structure of the $FILES array in a readable way.
This will give you an idea on how to get image information.

What I get is:

Array ( [mainphoto] => Array ( [name] => festival-burdette.jpg [type] => image/pjpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpHEpCuv [error] => 0 [size] => 150797 ) [addphoto1] => Array ( [name] => scott.gif [type] => image/gif [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpct5wPW [error] => 0 [size] => 18588 ) [addphoto2] => Array ( [name] => [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 4 [size] => 0 ) [addphoto3] => Array ( [name] => [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 4 [size] => 0 ) [addphoto4] => Array ( [name] => [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 4 [size] => 0 ) )

I am not sure what I need to do as far as the code goes. Can you give me some more details?

Hi,

use a foreach loop to get the up to four image arrays.
Then do the check/move/display_image part inside the loop for each array you get.

Could you give me an example of the for each loop? I am not familiar with it.

I really appreciate all your help.

Hi,

something like this:

<?PHP
  foreach($_FILES as $key => $arrFile) {
    if($arrFile['name'] == '') {   

       echo 'You did not select a photo to upload';   

    }   

    elseif($arrFile['size'] == 0) { 
      echo 'There appears to be a problem with the photo your are uploading';   

    }   

    ...... 
  }
?>
