First of all your code could be optimized to the following:

$files = array('file1', 'file2', 'file3');
$path = 'elp/pendingimages/';

foreach ($files as $file) {
    if ($_FILES[$file]['error'] > 0) {
        echo 'Error: '. $_FILES[$file]['error'] .'
';
    }
    else {
        echo 'Upload: '. $_FILES[$file]['name'] .'
';
        echo 'Type: '. $_FILES[$file]['type'] .'
';
        echo 'Size: '. ($_FILES[$file]['size'] / 1024) .' Kb
';
        echo 'Stored in: '. $_FILES[$file]['tmp_name'] .'
';
    }

    $basename = basename($_FILES[$file]['name']);

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$file]['tmp_name'], $path . $basename) {
        echo "The file {$basename} has been uploaded";
    }
    else {
        echo 'There was an error uploading the file, please try again!';
    }
}

If you're using different field for each file then it's fine.

Next you can see what $_FILES array store in itself when it's multiple upload:

$_FILES = array(
    ['files'] => array(
        ['name'] => array(
            [0] => 'WALL_video.jpg'
            [1] => 'WALLc.jpg'
        )
        ['type'] => array(
            [0] => 'image/jpeg'
            [1] => 'image/jpeg'
        )
        ['tmp_name'] => array(
            [0] => '/tmp/phpnbKcdM'
            [1] => '/tmp/phpnrHSN1'
        )
        ['error'] => array(
            [0] => 0
            [1] => 0
        )
        ['size'] => array(
            [0] => 885968
            [1] => 839713
        )
    )
)

The following code will work for you if you're using one field with name like files[] as array of files.

$target_path = 'elp/pendingimages/';

foreach ($_FILES['files']['name'] as $index => $name) {
    if ($_FILES['files']['error'][$index] > 0) {
        echo 'Error: ' . $_FILES['files']['error'][$index] . '
';
    }
    else {
        echo 'Upload: '. $_FILES['files']['name'][$index] .'
';
        echo 'Type: '. $_FILES['files']['type'][$index] .'
';
        echo 'Size: '. ($_FILES['files']['size'][$index] / 1024) .' Kb
';
        echo 'Stored in: '. $_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$index] .'
';
    }

    $path = $target_path . basename($name);

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$index], $path) {
        echo "The file {$name} has been uploaded";
    }
    else {
        echo 'There was an error uploading the file, please try again!';
    }
}
