Hi,
I have a problem about file upload from dart to php. When I print out print(request.files.length); it gives me the file count which I choose for upload.
But in php side $countfiles = count($_FILES['file']); always returns 1.
why it could be?

Thanks for the answer #CBroe. It works. I added the recent codes down.
.dart
Future<http.Response> uploadFile(String fileName, List<int> fileBytes) async {
try {
var request = new http.MultipartRequest("POST", Uri.parse("https://****/***/fileupload.php"));
for (var i = 0; i < uploadedImage.length; i++) {
selectedFilesBytes = List.from(uploadedImage[i]);
request.files.add(http.MultipartFile.fromBytes('file[]', selectedFilesBytes, contentType: MediaType('application', 'octet-stream'), filename: files[i].name));
}
print("request.files.length");
print(request.files.length);
var streamedResponse = await request.send();
return await http.Response.fromStream(streamedResponse);
} catch (e) {
print(e);
}
.php
<?php
// Count total files
$countfiles = count($_FILES['file']['name']);
error_log($countfiles);
// Looping all files
for($i=0;$i<$countfiles;$i++){
$filename = $_FILES['file']['name'][$i];
// Upload file
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i],'upload/'.$filename);
}
?>
