I'm using a form that allows the user to upload a single file and I am trying to make it be able to upload 4 files. I have tried loads of examples and had no luck in getting anything to work other than this single attachment upload where the file gets sent to my email:
HTML:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="send_attachments_email.php" method="post">
<label for="message">Message</label> <textarea name="message" id="message" cols="20" rows="8"></textarea>
<label for="file">File</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="send">
</form>
PHP:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
//The form has been submitted, prep a nice thank you message
$output = '<h1>Thanks for your file and message!</h1>';
//Set the form flag to no display (cheap way!)
$flags = 'style="display:none;"';
//Deal with the email
$to = 'info@xxx.co.uk';
$subject = 'a file for you';
$message = strip_tags($_POST['message']);
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])));
$filename = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$boundary =md5(date('r', time()));
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com
Reply-To: webmaster@example.com";
$headers .= "
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"_1_$boundary\"";
$message="This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--_1_$boundary
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"_2_$boundary\"
--_2_$boundary
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
$message
--_2_$boundary--
--_1_$boundary
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"$filename\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment
$attachment
--_1_$boundary--";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
?>
Would I need to make file an array and would the php still work? Or what is the best way to go about it?
Thanks!
The name of the input should indicate that there will be multiple values/that an array is expected. Try changing <input type="file" name="file" id="file"> to <input type="file" name="file[]" id="file">.
