You might be looking for multiple browse buttons, try your field name like this:
<input type="file" name="image_file1[]" />
<input type="file" name="image_file1[]" />
<input type="file" name="image_file1[]" />
<input type="file" name="image_file2[]" />
<input type="file" name="image_file2[]" />
<input type="file" name="image_file2[]" />
and then
if(!empty($_FILES['image_file1']['name'])){
$uploaded_file = $_FILES['image_file1'];
for($fi=0; $fi<count($_FILES['image_file1']['name']); $fi++){
$file_name= $uploaded_file['name'][$fi];
$file_type= $uploaded_file['type'][$fi];
$tmp_name= $uploaded_file['tmp_name'][$fi];
$file_size= $uploaded_file['size'][$fi];
}
}
if(!empty($_FILES['image_file2']['name'])){
$uploaded_file = $_FILES['image_file2'];
for($fi=0; $fi<count($_FILES['image_file2']['name']); $fi++){
$file_name= $uploaded_file['name'][$fi];
$file_type= $uploaded_file['type'][$fi];
$tmp_name= $uploaded_file['tmp_name'][$fi];
$file_size= $uploaded_file['size'][$fi];
}
}
