Converting single image upload into multiple images upload? - php

Question

Starting a new thread for this particular issue...
Here is the code I have that works on my other site...it lets you upload 1 image:
$photo=($_FILES['photo']['name']);
//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
//Tells you if its all ok
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
}
else {
//Gives and error if its not
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
Here is the code I am using on my current site for uploading multiple images....not working at the moment. Actually, in one section of the form, I am uploading a logo image, which is just one image. Then further down in another section of the form, I am uploading multiple screenshots. Not sure how to make the code work:
//code for uploading multiple screenshots
// check files are set or not
if(isset($_FILES['files'])){
$errors= array();
$desired_dir="images/"; // replace with your directory name where you want to store images
// getting files array
foreach($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'] as $key => $tmp_name ){
$file_name = $key.$_FILES['files']['name'][$key];
$file_size =$_FILES['files']['size'][$key];
$file_tmp =$_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$key];
$file_type=$_FILES['files']['type'][$key];
// checking file size (because i use it)
}
if($file_size > 8097152){
$errors[]='File size must be less than 8 MB'; // change or remove it
}
$FILE_NAME=time().$FILE_NAME; // for creating unique file name
if(empty($errors)==true){
// moving files to destination
$move=move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,$desired_dir.$FILE_NAME);
// you can direct write move_uploaded files method in bellow if condition
if($move)
{
// inserting data into database
mysql_query("INSERT into Colleges (`EMP_CODE`,`FILE_NAME`,`FILE_SIZE`,`FILE_TYPE`) VALUES ('$codes','$file_name','$file_size','$file_type')"); // inserting data if file is moved
echo "The file ".$FILE_NAME." has been uploaded"; // only for debugging
}
else{
echo $FILE_NAME."is not uploaded"; // use this for debugging otherwise remove it
}
}
else{
echo $errors;
}
}
}
if(empty($error)){
echo "All attachments are uploaded successfully"; // your success message/action
}
//end of code for uploading multiple screenshots
What confuses me is that the SINGLE IMAGE UPLOAD code uses only ONE variable "photo" while the MULTIPLE IMAGE UPLOAD uses multiple variables. The code is based on this tutorial. Not really sure how to get those 3 variables to work and it is a much longer code which confuses me even more.
So basically what I am asking is:How can I get a multiple image upload code to work, AND how can I get it to work with a single image upload code?
