PHP File Upload - php

Question

I'm looking to change my normal PHP file upload into a multiple file upload.
I have this as my single file input:
<input name="sliderfile" id="sliderfile" type="file" />
And this is the PHP I'm using to upload to my server/place in folder and register it into my databases:
if($_POST[sliderurl]){
$path= "uploads/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['sliderfile']['name'];
if($ufile !=none){
if(copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['sliderfile']['tmp_name'], $path)){
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
$added = date("F j, Y");
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `slider` (`imgurl`, `url`, `title`, `description`, `added`) VALUES ('$path', '$_POST[sliderurl]', '$_POST[slidertitle]', '$_POST[sliderdesc]', '$added')");
?>
<div id="fademessage" style="margin-top: 13px;">
<p class="message_greenadmin">Your slide has been successfully created and added to the homepage, Thank you.</p>
</div>
<?php
}else{
?>
<div id="fademessage" style="margin-top: 13px;">
<p class="message_redadmin">Something seems to have gone wrong. Try renaming the photos file name.</p>
</div>
<?php
}
}
}else{
}
?>
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Answer 1

you need use move_uploaded_file() for save uploaded file. And
foreach ($_FILES['sliderfile'] as $example) {
UploadFile($example);
}

Answer 2

Off the top of my head, I think this may work. Name each input the same with brackets (sliderfile[]) and then loop through them.
foreach ($_FILES['sliderfile'] AS $file) {
UploadFile($file);
}

Answer 3

Use function to upload file
function uploadImage($fileName,$filePath,$allowedList,$errorLocation){
$img = $_FILES[$fileName];
$imgName =$_FILES[$fileName]['name'];
$imgTempName = $_FILES[$fileName]['tmp_name'];
$imgSize = $_FILES[$fileName]['size'];
$imgError= $_FILES[$fileName]['error'];
$fileExt = explode(".",$imgName);
$fileActualExt = strtolower(end($fileExt));
$allowed = $allowedList;
if(in_array($fileActualExt, $allowed)){
if($imgError == 0){
foreach ($imgTempName as $example) {
$GLOBALS['fileNameNew']='yourname'.uniqid('',true).".".$fileActualExt;
$fileDestination = $filePath.$GLOBALS['fileNameNew'];
$resultsImage = move_uploaded_file($example,$fileDestination);
}
}
else{
header('location:'.$errorLocation.'&imgerror');
exit();
}
}
else{
header('location:'.$errorLocation.'&extensionError&'.$fileActualExt);
exit();
}
}
