Question

I need to upload multiple images with php and MySQL but every time I try to upload it's only upload 1 image to database but in the file (uploads\companies) it shown me 4 images
I tried, but I don't find any solution so if anyone can help me
This is my code
$name = $_POST['name'];
$field = $_POST['field'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
$mapLink = $_POST['maplink'];
// Image Details
$images = $_FILES['images'];
$imageName = $images['name'];
$imageSize = $images['size'];
$imageTmpName = $images['tmp_name'];
$imageType = $images['type'];
// Image Count
$imagecount = count($imageName);
// Check For Errors
$formErrors = [];
if(empty($name)) { $formErrors[] = 'Name Can Not Be Empty'; }
if(empty($address)) { $formErrors[] = 'Address Can Not Be Empty'; }
if(empty($description)) { $formErrors[] = 'Description Can Not Be Empty'; }
if(empty($field)) { $formErrors[] = 'Field Can Not Be Empty'; }
if(empty($email)) { $formErrors[] = 'Email Can Not Be Empty'; }
if(empty($phone)) { $formErrors[] = 'Phone Can Not Be Empty'; }
if(empty($mobile)) { $formErrors[] = 'Mobile Can Not Be Empty'; }
if(empty($mapLink)) { $formErrors[] = 'Map Link Can Not Be Empty'; }
// Loop Through Images
for($i = 0;$i < $imagecount;$i++) {
// Images Allowed Extension
$allowedExtension = ['jpg','jpeg','png'];
$imageExtensionExp = explode('.', $imageName[$i]);
$imageExtension = end($imageExtensionExp);
// Check Errors
if(empty($imageName[$i])) {
$formErrors[] = 'Image Can Not be Empty';
}
if(!empty($imageName[$i]) && !in_array($imageExtension, $allowedExtension)) {
$formErrors[] = 'This Extension Is Not Allowed';
}
if($imageSize[$i] > 5242880) { $formErrors[] = 'Size Can\'t be More 5 MB'; }
// Generate A Random Name
$imageNameStore = rand(0,10000000) . '_' . $imageName[$i];
move_uploaded_file($imageTmpName[$i], 'uploads\companies\\' . $imageNameStore);
}
// Print All Errors
if(!empty($formErrors)) {
echo '<div class="error-container">';
foreach ($formErrors as $error) {
echo '<h4>' . $error . '</h4>';
}
echo '</div>';
}
// Add To Database
if(empty($formErrors)) {
// Add Items To Database
/* $stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO
companies(Name, Field, Address, Email, Mobile, Phone, Description, Map,Images)
VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$stmt->execute(array($name, $field,$address,$email,$mobile,$phone,$description,$mapLink, $imageNameStore));
*/
// Print Success Message
?>
<div class="container">
<div class="alert alert-success mt-5 text-center">Success, Company Added Successfully</div>
</div>
<?php
}

Initialize the following variable before the start of FOR Loop:
$imageNameStoreForDB='';
Add the following line code after your move_uploaded_file function before your for loop ends to concatenate all images' names:
$imageNameStoreForDB .= $imageNameStore." , ";
Replace the Query as below to use the new variable:
$stmt->execute(array($name, $field,$address,$email,$mobile,$phone,$description,$mapLink, $imageNameStoreForDB));
Note: It will save all images names in the DB separated by "," comma and if you wanna fetch the record then use explode function for images to separate each image.
