Upload Multiple Files in PHP with an example
Contents
HTML
Creating a index.php file.
Create an input type='file' element and for enabling multiple files selection add multiple the attribute in it.
For reading all selected files when <form> submitted please add [] brackets at the end of a name that denotes an Array. Like: name="uploadedFile[]"
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="upload[]" multiple>
<input type="submit" name="uploadBtn" value="Upload">
</form>
PHP
Create a upload folder to store image files at the root directory.
When the form is submitted, we count files by the PHP array count function.
count($_FILES['uploadedFile']['name']) and loop through all files.
Upload Multiple Files in PHP – Code
<?php
//check file selected or not.
if (isset($_FILES['upload']['name'])) {
// count files
$filesCount = count($_FILES['upload']['name']);
// Loop through each file
for ($i = 0; $i < $filesCount; $i++) {
//Get the filename.
$tmpFilePath = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$i];
//Make sure we have a file path
if ($tmpFilePath != "") {
//Setup The destination of the moved file.
$newFilePath = "upload/" . $_FILES['upload']['name'][$i];
//Upload file
if (move_uploaded_file($tmpFilePath, $newFilePath)) {
//Handle other code here
}
}
}
echo "Files uploaded.....";
}
?>
