Multiple file upload question

[maxx]

If you're doing multiple file uploads (I have a form that presents 5 file inputs named img[]), do you have to wait for the first upload to finish before you can begin the second? Everything is looping correctly and I'm able to echo out all the proper variables and values, but the script is only putting one image at a time on the server. Which is kinda wierd, I think. But, this is the first time I've done multiple uploads, so it may be normal, but the php manual says that you can loop through file input arrays just like any other array, so I would assume it's possible. And if you do have to wait, how would one go about doing that?

You can do what you are wanting easily. Post up your code so we can find the bug.

Sure 'nuff! Thanks for taking a look...

function addPhotos($infoArr, $fileArr){
	$qry="SELECT dir FROM tblphotogs WHERE id = ".$infoArr['photog'].";";
	$rs=mysql_query($qry);
	if($line=mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)){
		$phDir = $line['dir'];
	}else{
		return(false);
		exit;
	}
	$imgDir = "../images/".$phDir;
	for($i=0; $i<count($fileArr); $i++){
		if(is_uploaded_file($fileArr['tmp_name'][$i])){
			if(!is_dir($imgDir)){
				if(!mkdir($imgDir, 0777)){
					return(false);
					exit;
				}
			}
			$imgTyp = getimagesize($fileArr['tmp_name'][$i]);
			$flName = basename($fileArr['name'][$i]);
			if($imgTyp[2] != 2){
				return(false);
				exit;
			}else{
				if(!move_uploaded_file($fileArr['tmp_name'][$i], "$imgDir/$flName")){
					return(false);
					exit;
				}else{
					$qry="INSERT INTO tblimgs (nm, photog) VALUES ('$flName', ".$infoArr['photog'].");";
					$rs=mysql_query($qry);
					if($rs){
						return(true);
					}else{
						return(false);
						exit;
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm just missing it... 😕 Thanks again for looking and for any help or suggestions!

Your code looks ok. When doing something like this, it's far easier to start of with the bear minimal code. Which is a common programming practice. Just have the for loop and the move_uploaded_file() calls. Once you are confident that the files are being uploaded correctly and being saved on the hard disk correctly you can then add the image stuff followed by the database stuff.

Figured it out, so I thought I'd come back in and mark this resolved and post the answer just in case anybody else has this issue. The problem is the return statement if the query is sucessful. I completely forgot that return terminates the function, so the second file is never getting a chance to get uploaded. Changed the code to read as such -

function addPhotos($infoArr, $fileArr){
	$qry="SELECT dir FROM tblphotogs WHERE id = ".$infoArr['photog'].";";
	$rs=mysql_query($qry);
	if($line=mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)){
		$phDir = $line['dir'];
	}else{
		return(false);
		exit;
	}
	$imgDir = "../images/".$phDir;
	for($i=0; $i<count($fileArr); $i++){
		if(is_uploaded_file($fileArr['tmp_name'][$i])){
			if(!is_dir($imgDir)){
				if(!mkdir($imgDir, 0777)){
					return(false);
					exit;
				}
			}
			$imgTyp = getimagesize($fileArr['tmp_name'][$i]);
			$flName = basename($fileArr['name'][$i]);
			if($imgTyp[2] != 2){
				return(false);
				exit;
			}else{
				print("$flName<br>");
				if(!move_uploaded_file($fileArr['tmp_name'][$i], "$imgDir/$flName")){
					print("couldn't move $flName<br>");
					return(false);
					exit;
				}else{
					$qry="INSERT INTO tblimgs (nm, photog) VALUES ('$flName', ".$infoArr['photog'].");";
					$rs=mysql_query($qry);
					if(!$rs){
						return(false);
						exit;
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	return(true);
}

and it's working like a champ. Now all I gotta do is go back and see how many functions are screwed due to my brainfart...

Thanks for the help and suggestions.
