php segmented file uploads seperated in array - php

Question

I have created an dynamic registration table - and related to one of the segments I need to be able to upload a file.
It all works like dandy. Except the fileupload.
Doing an print_r($_FILES); after attempted upload gives this:
[0]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(16) "image001 (3).jpg"
[1]=>
string(16) "image001 (2).jpg"
}
["type"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(10) "image/jpeg"
[1]=>
string(10) "image/jpeg"
}
["tmp_name"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(14) "/tmp/phpdqCWSl"
[1]=>
string(14) "/tmp/phpabqqwj"
}
["error"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
int(0)
[1]=>
int(0)
}
["size"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
int(1288)
[1]=>
int(1288)
}
}
}
Here it kind of merges the two uploads into the same array instead of making the array size of two sub arrays.
<td style='display:none;' class=td_register_purchases>
<input type=text name=registration[][purchase_data] id=purchase_data class=purchase_data>
<select name='registration[][purchase_type]' id=select_purchase class=purchase_type>
<option value=1>Accomodation</option>
<option value=2>Catering</option>
<option value=3>Tools</option>
<option value=4>Software/License</option>
<option value=5>Hardware</option>
</select>
<textarea rows=2 cols=50 name='registration[][purchase_comment]' class=purchase_comment placeholder='Comment Area'></textarea>
<input type=file name='upload_file[]' class='upload-file'> Attachment
</td>
I could work with this result:
[0]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(16) "image001 (3).jpg"
}
["type"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(10) "image/jpeg"
}
["tmp_name"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(14) "/tmp/phpdqCWSl"
}
["error"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(0)
}
["size"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(1288)
}
}
[1]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(16) "image001 (2).jpg"
}
["type"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(10) "image/jpeg"
}
["tmp_name"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(14) "/tmp/phpabqqwj"
}
["error"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(0)
}
["size"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(1288)
}
}
}
But I am probably making a mistake somewhere that could fix it all.

Working hard.. And found a - not beautifull solution ;-)
$number_files = sizeof($_FILES["upload_file"]["name"]);
$fields = 4;
$field_count = 0;
$row_count = 0;
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
for($x = 0; $x < $number_files; $x++) {
foreach ($_FILES AS $reg_array) {
foreach ($reg_array AS $segment => $value)
{
if ($field_count == $fields)
{
$temp_files[$row_count][$segment] = $value[$x];
$field_count = 0;
$row_count++;
}
else
{
$field_count++;
$temp_files[$row_count][$segment] = $value[$x];
}
} // end foreach
} // end foreach
} // end for
} // end if
