Insert multiple image names into same database field, separated by comma - php

Question

I have this script:
UPLOAD MULTIPLE FILES - PIECE OF CODE
foreach ($_FILES['files']['name'] as $f => $name) {
if ($_FILES['files']['error'][$f] == 0) {
}
else{ // No error found! Move uploaded files
$ext = pathinfo($_FILES['files']['name'][$f], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$uniq_name = uniqid() . '.' .$ext;
$dest = $path . $uniq_name; //FULL DESTINATION
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$f], $dest)) {
$count++;
}
}
}
Please tell me how to insert into my mysql database all the photo names, in the PHOTOS field, separated by a comma.
When I'm writing the 2 lines code:
$a = "INSERT INTO dbu.dbu_data(photos) VALUES ('$uniq_name')";
mysql_query($a);
IT INSERTS A TABLE ROW FOR EACH PHOTO THAT WAS UPLOADED AND I DON'T WANT THAT.

Answer 1

$delimiter = ",";
$str = '';
foreach ($_FILES['files']['name'] as $f => $name) {
if ($_FILES['files']['error'][$f] == 0) {
// surely your move logic needs to go here
} else{ // No error found! Move uploaded files
$ext = pathinfo($_FILES['files']['name'][$f], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$uniq_name = uniqid() . '.' .$ext;
$dest = $path . $uniq_name; //FULL DESTINATION
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$f], $dest)) {
$count++;
if (strlen($str)) {
$str .= $delimiter;
}
$str .= $dest;
}
}
}
if (strlen($str)){
$a = "INSERT INTO dbu.dbu_data(photos) VALUES ('" . mysql_real_escape_string($str) . "')";
mysql_query($a);
}
