I have a working example below of a single file input upload via php and now I'd like to upload multiple files either by iterating through each input type="file".
I've read that the multiple attribute on the input tag is not supported below IE10 so I think the best way would be to have several input type=files in order to loop through them
any help is appreciated
<input type="file" name="FilesUpload1" class="filesUpload" />
<input type="file" name="FilesUpload2" class="filesUpload" />
<input type="file" name="FilesUpload3" class="filesUpload" />
<?php
//Сheck that we have a file
if((!empty($_FILES["FilesUpload1"])) && ($_FILES['FilesUpload1']['error'] == 0)) {
//Check if the file is JPEG image and it's size is less than 350Kb
$filename = basename($_FILES['FilesUpload1']['name']);
$ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1);
//check file extension
if ((($ext == "gif")
|| ($ext == "jpeg")
|| ($ext == "jpg")
|| ($ext == "png")
|| ($ext == "doc")
|| ($ext == "docx")
|| ($ext == "rtf")
|| ($ext == "txt")
|| ($ext == "pdf"))
//check file mime
&& (($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "application/msword")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "application/rtf")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "text/plain")
|| ($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["type"] == "application/pdf"))
//check file size is less than 1048576 bytes [1 MB]
&& (($_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["size"] < 1048576))) {
//Determine the path to which we want to save this file
$newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/../entries/'.$_POST["CompanyName"].'-'.$filename;
//Check if the file with the same name is already exists on the server
if (!file_exists($newname)) {
//Attempt to move the uploaded file to it's new place
if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['FilesUpload1']['tmp_name'],$newname))) {
echo "It's done! Your file has been saved.";
} else {
echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!";
}
} else {
echo "Error: File ".$_FILES["FilesUpload1"]["name"]." already exists";
}
}
else {
echo "Error: Only .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt, .pdf files under 1 MB are accepted for upload.";
}
} else {
echo "Error: No file uploaded";
}
?>
Did you try this logic ?
HTML
<form method="POST" action="desired_url" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="FilesUpload[]" class="filesUpload" />
<input type="file" name="FilesUpload[]" class="filesUpload" />
<input type="file" name="FilesUpload[]" class="filesUpload" />
<button type="submit" name="upload_file" class="btn btn-primary">Upload</button>
</form>
PHP
if( isset($_POST["upload_file"] ) ){
$get_files = $_FILES["FilesUpload"];
foreach( $get_files['name'] as $key => $name ){
$files = $_FILES['FilesUpload'];
if( $files['error'][$key] == 0 ){
$ext = substr($name, strrpos($name, '.') + 1);
$filename = rand(11111,99999).'.'.$ext;
$destination = "uploads/".$filename;
if( move_uploaded_file( $files['tmp_name'][$key], $destination ) ){
echo "Your file has been uploaded.<br>";
}
}
}
}
Try this way.
HTML :
<input name="upload[]" type="file" multiple="multiple" />
PHP Code :
$total = count($_FILES['upload']['name']);
// Loop through each file
for($i=0; $i<$total; $i++) {
//Get the temp file path
$tmpFilePath = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$i];
//Make sure we have a filepath
if ($tmpFilePath != ""){
//Setup our new file path
$newFilePath = "./uploadFiles/" . $_FILES['upload']['name'][$i];
//Upload the file into the temp dir
if(move_uploaded_file($tmpFilePath, $newFilePath)) {
//Handle other code here
}
}
}
