Upload files with multiple inputs - php

Question

I have a form where i want to upload files with multiple inputs.My form looks like:
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="file" name="tax" />
<input type="file" name="ta" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
I do not know how to process this form..

Answer 1

You form doesn't work until you don't include 'enctype="multipart/form-data"', because it is necessary to use input type file.
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="tax" />
<input type="file" name="ta" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
Now browse the file and submit the form. You will get all file data inside $_FILES. so to check what you get inside the file data, you can use :
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_FILES)

Answer 2

I'm not sure whether you have gone through the tutorials before, however below is the code which will help you to process it.
<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="tax" />
<input type="file" name="ta" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
If you upload the file, you can get the files from,
$_FILES global array, i.e. $_FILES['tax'] and $_FILES['ta'].
More info can be found on php.net

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="tax" />
<input type="file" name="ta" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
<?php
//print_r($_POST);
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$name = $_FILES['tax']['name'];
$name1 = $_FILES['ta']['name'];
$temp_name = $_FILES['tax']['tmp_name'];
$temp_name1 = $_FILES['ta']['tmp_name'];
var_dump($_FILES);
if(isset($name)){
if(!empty($name)){
var_dump($_FILES);
$location = 'images/'.$name;
if(move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $location)){
echo 'File uploaded successfully';
}
}
} else {
echo 'You should select a file to upload !!';
}
if(isset($name1)){
if(!empty($name1)){
var_dump($_FILES);
$location = 'images/'.$name1;
if(move_uploaded_file($temp_name1, $location)){
echo 'File uploaded successfully';
}
}
} else {
echo 'You should select a file to upload !!';
}
}
?>
