how to add many images to a mysql database? - php

Question

i have a form which is able to upload multiple selected files to the folder. I just need to find how how to insert them into the database using PHP?
HTML form
<form name="demoFiler" id="demoFiler" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="multiUpload" id="multiUpload" multiple />
<input type="submit" name="submitHandler" id="submitHandler" value="Upload" class="buttonUpload" />
</form>
PHP code
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST"){
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "uploads/".$_FILES['file']['name'])){
echo($_POST['index']);
}
exit;
}
This is my code and first of all I can't get the files to be moved to the upload folder:
<?php
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$host = "localhost";
$database = "db_holiday";
// Make the connect to MySQL or die
// and display an error.
$link = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select your database
mysql_select_db ($database);
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST")
{
foreach ($_FILES['multiUpload']['name'] as $fileName) {
$uploaddir= '/upload/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($fileName);
if (move_uploaded_file($fileName, $uploadfile)) {
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}
}
}
?>
<form action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="multiUpload[]" id="multiUpload" multiple="multiple" />
<input type="submit" name="button"/>
</form>

Answer 1

HTML:
<input type="file" name="multiUpload[]" id="multiUpload" multiple />
php:
foreach ($_FILES['multiUpload'] as $fileName) {
//write your code here
//$fileName
}

Answer 2

Use 2 input type="file" elements
<input type="file" name="img_1" />
<input type="file" name="img_2" />
Access each file using
$_FILES['img_1'][];
$_FILES['img_2'][];
Or you can also use an array like
<input type="file" name="img[]" />
<input type="file" name="img[]" />
<!--Which is often used in checkboxes-->
And access each image using
$_FILES['img']['tmp_name'][0];
$_FILES['img']['tmp_name'][1];
