As others have pointed out, you need to change your upload field name to ie. files[] (include the sqaure brackets after the name). This is relevant as it tells PHP that it should treat the field as an array.

Additionally, in the code, you may use foreach() to access the uploaded files like this:

foreach ($_FILES['field_name'] as $file)

(obviously, yout html field would be names field_name[] in this case) This will return one array in each of its five iterations, giving you information about all the files you've sent. For instance, if you have sent two files, it may look like this:

    ["name"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(5) "dir.c"
      [1]=>
      string(10) "errcodes.h"
    }
    ["type"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(11) "text/x-csrc"
      [1]=>
      string(11) "text/x-chdr"
    }
    ["tmp_name"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(14) "/tmp/phpP1iz5A"
      [1]=>
      string(14) "/tmp/phpf31fzn"
    }
    ["error"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      int(0)
      [1]=>
      int(0)
    }
    ["size"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      int(511)
      [1]=>
      int(38)
    }
  }

It's important to understand that PHP will categorize those not into files and then give each its properties, but rather will list the properties for all the files.

I hope it's clear now.
