This is my form it has two upload images with one button i want to upload two images at the same time and put them in two separate column in the datase because i will use these two images in a slider one for big image and other for thumbnail i tried upload only one images and it was good but how do you upload two images at the same time this is my code for adding images. This code only uploads one images how can it be changed to upload two?
function AddImageGallery(){
global $dbh;
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]['tmp_name'])){
$folder = "images/imagegallery/";
$file = basename( $_FILES['image']['name']);
$full_path = $folder.$file;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $full_path)) {
echo "succesful upload, we have an image!";
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO imagegallery (imggall_imageurl) VALUES (?)");
$stmt->bindValue(1,$full_path,PDO::PARAM_STR);
if($stmt->execute()){
echo "Image Recorded";
}else{
echo "Image was not Recorded";
}
} else {
echo "upload received! but process failed";
}
}else{
echo "upload failure ! Nothing was uploaded";
}
}
database will look like this
$sql ="CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS $imagegallery (
imggall_id int(40) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
imggall_imageurl VARCHAR(1000) NOT NULL,
imggall_thumnailurl VARCHAR(1000) NOT NULL);" ;
$dbh->exec($sql);
UPDATE
new code i tried
function AddImageGallery(){
global $dbh;
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES["bigimage"]['tmp_name'] && $_FILES["thumbnailimage"]['tmp_name'] )){
$folder = "images/imagegallery/";
$filebi = basename( $_FILES['bigimage']['name']);
$fileti = basename( $_FILES['thumbnailimage']['name']);
$fileti = basename( $_FILES['thumbnailimage']['name']);
$fullbi_path = $folder.$filebi;
$fullti_path = $folder.$fileti;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['bigimage']['tmp_name'], $fullbi_path && $_FILES['thumbnailimage']['tmp_name'], $fullti_path )) {
echo "succesful upload, we have an image!";
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO imagegallery (imggall_imageurl,imggall_thumnailurl) VALUES (?,?)");
$stmt->bindValue(1,$fullbi_path,PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindValue(2,$fullti_path,PDO::PARAM_STR);
if($stmt->execute()){
header("Location: dashboard.php");
exit;
echo "Image Recorded";
}else{
echo "Image was not Recorded";
}
} else {
echo "upload received! but process failed";
}
}else{
echo "upload failure ! Nothing was uploaded";
}
}

Answer 1

Quick Google:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.multiple.php#53240
Shows a clear and simple method for multiple image uploads.
Quote:
function reArrayFiles(&$file_post) {
$file_ary = array();
$file_count = count($file_post['name']);
$file_keys = array_keys($file_post);
for ($i=0; $i<$file_count; $i++) {
foreach ($file_keys as $key) {
$file_ary[$i][$key] = $file_post[$key][$i];
}
}
return $file_ary;
}
if ($_FILES['upload']) {
$file_ary = reArrayFiles($_FILES['ufile']);
foreach ($file_ary as $file) {
print 'File Name: ' . $file['name'];
print 'File Type: ' . $file['type'];
print 'File Size: ' . $file['size'];
}
}
For you:
<form method="POST" action="crud.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="file" name="image[]" />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />
<input id="button" type="submit" value="Add" name="imagegalleryadd"/>
</form>
Then using the earlier function linked
if ($_FILES['upload']) {
$file_ary = reArrayFiles($_FILES['ufile']);
$main = $file_ary[0]['name'];
$thumb = $file_ary[1]['name'];
// Upload to DB
}

If one is having difficulties with sending more than 1 image to .php it is crucial to put [] in the end of your name of input.
Thought I should mention that sine I spend last few hours wondering why PHP is not detecting more than 1 file.
