PHP/HTML form upload multiple images - php

Question

I have this in my form:
<input type="file" name="images[]" multiple="multiple" />
then this PHP on the action page for the form:
$files = array();
$fdata = $_FILES["images"];
if(is_array($fdata["name"]))
{
//This is the problem
for ($i = 0; $i < count($fdata['name']); ++$i)
{
$files[] = array(
'name' => $fdata['name'][$i],
'tmp_name' => $fdata['tmp_name'][$i],
);
}
}
else
{
$files[] = $fdata;
}
foreach ($files as $file)
{
move_uploaded_file ( "$pic1_name","$image1") or die("image 1 did not copy<br>");
}
but i know i have the move_uploaded_file line wrong. what do i need to put in here instead?
UPDATE:
my latest code is as follows:
$files = array();
$fdata = $_FILES["images"];
if(is_array($fdata["name"]))
{
//This is the problem
for ($i = 0; $i < count($fdata['name']); ++$i)
{
$files[] = array(
'name' => $fdata['name'][$i],
'tmp_name' => $fdata['tmp_name'][$i],
);
}
}
else
{
$files[] = $fdata;
}
foreach($_FILES['images'] as $file)
{
echo $file['tmp_name'];
move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/img/project-gallery/test');
}

I would try something like this...of course add in some validation to make sure users are uploading only file-types which you expect
$currentDate = microtime();
$storeFolder = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/yourSavePath/";
$fileNames = array();
foreach ($_FILES['images']['name'] as $key => $value) {
if (!empty($_FILES['images'])) {
//tempfile is the file which has actually been stored on your server
$tempFile = $_FILES['images']['tmp_name'][$key];
//prepend the time so to make filenames unique...the filename here is the one the user sees and the temp filename above is one generated by the server
$targetFile1 = $currentDate . $_FILES['images']['name'][$key];
//get rid of spaces in the name since they can cause issues
$targetFile1 = str_replace(' ', '_', $targetFile1);
$res = move_uploaded_file($tempFile, $storeFolder . $targetFile1);
$fileNames[] = $targetFile1;
}
}
