Create a PHP contact form with multiple image upload - php

Question

I need to create an html contact form which collects some data and uploads 8 images through a PHP script
This is my HTML:
<form action="formmail.php" onsubmit="return controlloform()" id="form" name="form" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email address" type="text" value="" maxlength="40">
<input name="tel" id="tel" type="text" placeholder="Order number" value="" maxlength="20">
<textarea name="msg" placeholder="Message" value="" maxlength="300"></textarea>
Upload a photo:
<p>
<p>
<input name="file" id="file" class="button" type="file" value="">
<p>
<p>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Submit" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
I don't know how to create the upload script, what I need to do is uploading 2 blocks of 4 images, check the extension of the file (only jpg and png allowed) and the size (max 500 kb for image).
I've already found some upload scripts (not 100% suitable for what I need) but I don't know how to include the upload part into the rest of the code
If anyone could help me would be great
Thanks a lot

This code make multiple upload
$total = count($_FILES['photo_file']['name']);
// Loop through each file
for($i=0; $i<$total; $i++) {
//Get the temp file path
$tmpFilePath = $_FILES['photo_file']['tmp_name'][$i];
//Make sure we have a filepath
if ($tmpFilePath != ""){
//Setup our new file path
$newFilePath = "./uploadFiles/" . $_FILES['photo_file']['name'][$i];
//Upload the file into the temp dir
if(move_uploaded_file($tmpFilePath, $newFilePath)) {
//Handle other code here
}
}
}
if you want to check file size insert this code
if ($_FILES["photo_file"]["size"] > 500000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
this code make validation
$allowed = array('gif','png' ,'jpg');
$filename = $_FILES['photo_file']['name'];
$ext = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
if(!in_array($ext,$allowed) ) {
$uploadOk = 0;
}
