I'm using this code to process uploaded files:
mkdir("files/" . $id, 0700);
$path = "files/" . $id;
$count = 0;
if(isset($_POST) and $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
foreach($_FILES['attachments']['name'] as $f => $name)
{
if($_FILES['attachments']['error'][$f] == 4)
{
continue;
}
if($_FILES['attachments']['error'][$f] == 0)
{
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["attachments"]["tmp_name"][$f], $path.$name))
{
$count++;
}
}
}
}
$id
is a random number taken from the database. Besides, I'm using this markup:
<input type="file" id="attachments" name="attachments[]" multiple="multiple" accept="*">
While the exact same code had worked brilliantly before, it now throws numbers of errors I can't really deduce:
1: mkdir(): File exists in ... on line ... (<-- now, it doesn't for granted!)
2: Undefined index: attachments in ... on line ... (well, it's defined also using form method post!)
3: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ... on line ... (which is quite clear as the above stated errors do prevent the foreach from doing its job correctly)
Yes, I made sure that I'm actually using POST
. I also tried changing the file input's name from attachments
to any other, however, scenario remains the same.
Adding enctype="multipart/form-data"
has done it.
1] Check for the folder rights 0777. Weather you are able to create directory or not
2] After posting form. Make sure your form has enctype = multipart/form-data tag. In you file please check with
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_FILES);
exit;
If you are getting any data or not? If getting data then move ahead.
First check if your $id really contain something, secondly your form should have attribute of enctype = multipart/form-data
for using input type file.
<form action="test.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Now in your case you will get the array of files you before your perform any work, see print_r of attachments:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_FILES);
exit;
