Uploading Files

So on my site users are allowed to upload images, i recently found this new html 5 feature that allows you to allows users to upload multiple files at once using "multiple="multiple"" but the promblem i dont know how to habdle uploading the images if they select more then one file

 

"multiple="multiple"" store the data in array so you just have to loop through it with foreach or something else.

 

i tired foreaching but i just dont really understand it, could u possible give an example

 

When you upload a file the information regarding that file is stored in the $_FILES superglobal. Upon uploading multiple files, you may want to output the contents of the array to see what it contains:

print_r( $_FILES );

PHP:

To upload multple files on the server, you would have to loop through the array, and process each file. For example:

foreach( $_FILES as $File ) {
    /* $File is an array.
        Keys: name => name of file sent by browser, type => type of file, tmp_name => location of file which is temporarily stored on the server, error => contains error code, size => size of file in bytes
    */
}

PHP:

You would perform various checks and then use the move_uploaded_file function to move the file to a more permanent location.
