PHP uploading multiple images and inserting into them into database - php

Question

i want to upload multiple images using this code but i can`t , i think it would be by using for each but every time i try the errors come everywhere
i want to insert the whole images paths in one column and after each picture ','
here is the php code
if (isset($_POST['upload_file'])) {
$date = date('Y-m-d h:i:s');
if ($_FILES['image']['name'] != '') {
$temp = explode('.', $_FILES['image']['name']);
$image_name = round(microtime(true)) . '.' . end($temp);
$image_tmp = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$image_size = $_FILES['image']['size'];
$image_ext = pathinfo($image_name,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$image_path = '../media/file/'.$image_name;
$image_db_path = '../media/file/'.$image_name;
if ($image_size < '50000000') {
if ($image_ext == 'jpg' || $image_ext == 'png' || $image_ext =='gif' || $image_ext == 'jpeg') {
if (move_uploaded_file($image_tmp, $image_path)) {
$ins_sql = "INSERT INTO files (imgs_paths, date) VALUES ('$image_db_path', '$date')";
if (mysqli_query($conn,$ins_sql)) {
header('Location: index.php');
}else{
$error = '';
}
}else{
$error = '';
}
}else{
$error = '';
}
}else{
$error = '';
}
} else{
$error = '';
}
}
and here the html code
<input type="file" accept="image/*" name="image[]" multiple/>

You're right about using foreach. If you need to upload multiple, you'll need to use it. And it's as simple as:
foreach($_FILES['image'] as $i => $file){
///... other code
$temp = explode('.', $_FILES['image'][$i]['name']);
$image_name = round(microtime(true)) . '.' . end($temp);
$image_tmp = $_FILES['image'][$i]['tmp_name'];
$image_size = $_FILES['image'][$i]['size'];
///... rest of code
}
Since it's an array of images, you need to access each element. Notice how we're using the array index($i) to access the current element in the loop.
As #RiggsFolly stated, you can also use $file in your loop as it is also the current element in the loop. (Instead of $_FILES['image'][$i]...)
