Uploading Files

rsmith

Hey alll,
I'm new to managing file uploads. I have a single file upload script working flawlessly however when I try to create a form that allows multiple files (in this case images) to be uploaded I get an error: Unable to upload: Array.

Here's my Form

<html>
<head>
  <title>Test Upload</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploadFiles.php" method="post" name="upload">
  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="350">
    <tr>
      <td valign="middle" width="350" colspan="2">
        <b>Upload a File!</b>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td valign="middle" width="50">
        <b>File:</b>
      </td>
      <td valign="middle" width="300">
        <input type="file" name="pictures[]">
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <tr>
      <td valign="middle" width="50">
        <b>File:</b>
      </td>
      <td valign="middle" width="300">
        <input type="file" name="pictures[]">
      </td>
    </tr>
      <td valign="middle" width="50">
      </td>
      <td valign="middle" width="300">
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload">
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

</body>
</html>

And here's my script

<?
		$target_path = "uploads/";

	foreach ($_FILES['pictures']['error'] as $key => $error) {
		if($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK){
    		$tmp_name = $_FILES['pictures']['tmp_name'];
    		$name = $_FILES['pictures']['name'];
    		if(!move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$target_path$name")){
        		echo "Unable to upload: ".$name.".<br />";
			}else{
    			echo "File: ".$name." uploaded successfully.<br />";
			}
		}
	}	    		
?>

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

foreach ($_FILES['pictures']['error'] as $key => $value)
{ 
	if ($value == 0)
	{ 
		$tmp_name = $_FILES['pictures']['tmp_name'][$key];
		$name = $_FILES['pictures']['name'][$key];

	if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $targetpath . $name)) {echo 'File: ' . $name . ' uploaded successfully.<br>';}
	else {echo 'Unable to upload: ' . $name . '<br>';} 
}
else
{
	echo 'Error: ' $value . '<br>';
}
}

Same result. Still just outputs:

Unable to upload: Array

Try doing a print_r() to see how the array is setup.

Array ( [pictures] => Array ( [name] => Array ( [0] => house_icon.gif [1] => east_tucson1.jpg ) [type] => Array ( [0] => image/gif [1] => image/jpeg ) [tmp_name] => Array ( [0] => C:\Program Files\xampp\tmp\php62.tmp [1] => C:\Program Files\xampp\tmp\php63.tmp ) [error] => Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 0 ) [size] => Array ( [0] => 277 [1] => 87459 ) ) )
