Uploadin files, foreach and arrays

Napster

Im trying to make a script that uploads images. That is easy, however I am trying to make a script that users a for loop to create each of the file uploading scripts and then a foreach loop to go through each one. A condenced version of the script looks like:

<?php

  if (empty($hidden)) {

echo "

  <form action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">

";


for ($y = 1; $y <= 10; $y++) echo "<input type=\"file\" name=\"imagefile[]\"><br>";


echo "

    <br>

    <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hidden\" value=\"1\">

    <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\">       

  </form>

";

  } else {

foreach ($imagefile as $j => $k) {

  echo "-" . $k['name'] . "<br>";

}

  }

?>

Basically I am trying for it now just to echo the name of each file so that I can tell it is working.  However every file prints out 

[quote]- C[/quote]

How can I get this to echo out the right information?

you will need to do this:

for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($_FILES['imagefile']['name']); ++$i) {
   echo "-" . $_FILES['imagefile']['name'][$i] . "<br />";
}

when a file is uploaded the an array in the $FILES superglobal is created which contains various pieces of information on the file(s) uploaded. its a little strange when you upload it as an array. if it were uploaded as a single variable, the filename would be accessable via $FILES['imagefile']['name']

see www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

also dont forget to set the form enctype to multipart/form-data or your uploads wont work at all.

This works just fine for me...

Foreach($_FILES as $Image){
print $Image['tmp_name'];///temporary name used by the server
print $Image['name'];//actual name of the file.
}

Ok thank you. It works with this code:

for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($_FILES['imagefile']['name']); ++$i) { 
   echo "-" . $_FILES['imagefile']['name'][$i] . "<br />"; 
}
