Multiple File Uploads Help!

slimjim

Anyone have anything I can start off with for multible file uploads and to be able to insert each file name into seperate fields in database, I am going nuts..

Also been playing with another form, but cant figure out how to echo a file name from the database into these...
Everytime i try value="" and try to echo the name there. it does not show up..

                    <input type="file" name="file1" />
                    <input type="file" name="file2" />
                    <input type="file" name="file3" />

You can try this method, which may be a bit easier. Here ya go.

Form

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>Files:
<input type="file" name="files[]" />
<input type="file" name="files[]" />
<input type="file" name="files[]" />
<input type="file" name="files[]" />
<input type="file" name="files[]" />
<input type="file" name="files[]" />

<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</p>
</form>

PHP

<?php
foreach ($_FILES["files"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
   if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
       $tmp_name = $_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$key];
       $name = $_FILES["files"]["name"][$key];
       move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "data/$name");
   }
}
?>

Here are some error messages explained:

UPLOAD_ERR_OK
Value: 0; There is no error, the file uploaded with success.
UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE
Value: 1; The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE
Value: 2; The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.
UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL
Value: 3; The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.
UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE
Value: 4; No file was uploaded.
UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR
Value: 6; Missing a temporary folder. Introduced in PHP 4.3.10 and PHP 5.0.3.

How would I echo the file name once I insert the name into the database ? Sounds simple but with that form I can not figure it out. If I use value="" that just does not work..

How would I check extentions ? I think I figured out size.

<?

if($submit == "Send"){

$uploaddir = "upload"; 
// Where you want the files to upload to

$max_size = "70000"; 
//max size of file

foreach ($_FILES["files"]["error"] as $key => $error) { 
   if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) { 
       $tmp_name = $_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$key]; 
       $name = $_FILES["files"]["name"][$key];

Check for file size 
if($_FILES['files']['size'][$key] < $max_size)
{
$ok = "1";	
}
if ($ok == "1"){
       move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploaddir/$name"); 
} else {
	echo "wrong size";
   } 
}
}
}
?>

Ok I figured out the image types.

But now need to figure out still how to get each image name so that I can put each name into a database. Each name has to be able to go into its own Fields.

Also I want to print the image name that did not get uploaded... because of size or type....

Can anyone help me out here please....

<?

if($submit == "Send"){

$uploaddir = "upload"; 
//files to upload to

$allowed = array("image/jpeg", "image/pjpeg", "image/jpg", "image/gif"); 
//images allowed

$max_size = "50000"; // about 50kb 
//max size of file

$unique_id = md5(uniqid(time()));
//give image name a id

foreach ($_FILES["files"]["error"] as $key => $error) { 
   if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) { 
       $tmp_name = $_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$key]; 
       $name = $_FILES["files"]["name"][$key];
       $filename = $unique_id.'_'.$_FILES["files"]["name"][$key];

if(in_array($_FILES['files']['type'][$key], $allowed))
{ 
$okk = "1";
} else {
	$hmm="Wrong image type </b>";
}
if($_FILES['files']['size'][$key] < $max_size)
{
$ok = "2";	
} else {
	$hmm="Wrong image size<BR><b>Image must not be larger then $max_size k";
}

if (($ok == "2") && ($okk == "1")){
       move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploaddir/$filename"); 
       	echo "Success Image Upload";

} else {
	echo "$hmm";
   } 
}
}
}
?>

You can echo the name of the file currently being checked by using $_FILES['files']['name'][$key] in your current structure.
