Im not super familiar with PHP, I have the following code which allows me to upload a file to the server. how can I make this upload multiple files, in my html I have already added the multiple property. the php code is this:
<?php
session_start();
$allowedExts = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
if (file_exists($_SESSION['user']."/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$i],
$_SESSION['user']."/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . $_SESSION['user']."/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>

Multiple files can be selected and then uploaded using the
<input type='file' name='file[]' multiple>
The sample php script that does the uploading:
<html>
<title>Upload</title>
<?php
session_start();
$target=$_POST['directory'];
if($target[strlen($target)-1]!='/')
$target=$target.'/';
$count=0;
foreach ($_FILES['file']['name'] as $filename)
{
$temp=$target;
$tmp=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$count];
$count=$count + 1;
$temp=$temp.basename($filename);
move_uploaded_file($tmp,$temp);
$temp='';
$tmp='';
}
header("location:../../views/upload.php");
?>
</html>
The selected files are received as an array with
$_FILES['file']['name'][0] storing the name of first file.
$_FILES['file']['name'][1] storing the name of second file.
and so on.
