multi image upload wrong quantity on file-upload

Question

i like to upload some images to a directory with the help of arrays. therefore i have this code:

$allowedExtensions = array(\'jpg\', \'jpeg\', \'png\', \'bmp         


        

Answer 1

Why are you accessing the $_FILES superglobal array as a three dimensional array?

if you want the file name of the file uploaded from an <input type="file" name="image"/> all you have to do is $name = $_FILES[ 'image' ][ 'name' ] there is no need for the [ $i ] at the end.

You need to loop over the entries in $_FILES like this:

foreach ( $_FILES as $inputName => $fileData )
{
    // $inputName is be 'image` for the first input and so on,
    // $fileData will be an array of the attributes [ 'name', 'tmp_name', ... ]
}

Answer 2

First of, I would name the uploaded fields seperatly. E.g. name the first field <input name="image_1" type="file" /> and the second <input name="image_2" type="file" />. Then you can iterate over the $_FILES array instead:

foreach($_FILES as $fileId => $file){
    //make sure it's a file you want (optional)
    if(!preg_match("/^image\_\d+$/",$fileId){
         continue;
    }

    //the rest of your code from the for loop
}

Secondly, you need to make sure that your form's enctype is multipart/form-data.

Does any of this help?

I'm not sure if this may solve it for you, but you can try to convert these into "normal" $_FILES values.

$arr_files  =   @$_FILES['image'];

$_FILES     =   array();
foreach(array_keys($arr_files['name']) as $h)
$_FILES["image_{$h}"]    =   array(  'name'      =>  $arr_files['name'][$h],
                                    'type'      =>  $arr_files['type'][$h],
                                    'tmp_name'  =>  $arr_files['tmp_name'][$h],
                                    'error'     =>  $arr_files['error'][$h],
                                    'size'      =>  $arr_files['size'][$h]);

And then run the loop like normal.

Your code is very similar to my answer at limiting the checking condition while uploading swf files

This is how you should implement such ..

error_reporting ( E_ALL );
$allowedExtensions = array (
        'jpg',

        'tiff',
        'gif'

$errors = $output = array ();

    foreach ( $_FILES ['image'] ['tmp_name'] as $key => $val ) {

        $fileName = $_FILES ['image'] ['name'] [$key];
        $fileSize = $_FILES ['image'] ['size'] [$key];
