Simple Multiple Upload Script (Both HTML and PHP)

Simple Multiple Upload Script (Both HTML and PHP)

by  Karl Blessing  Posted    (Edited  )
There are two parts to this, and I'm going to keep the code very simple, the path in the php portion of it is geared at a windows machine, just simply change this path for what it would be on your box or web hosting provider. I made this simple script up when helping a friend figure out how to do multiple uploads to premade gallery folders so he could upload pictures to his site.

The HTML Portion
Code: 
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="uploader.php">
	<select name="destination">
		<option value="gallery_1">Gallery One</option>
		<option value="gallery_2">Gallery Two</option>
		<option value="gallery_3">Gallery Three</option>
	</select><br>
	<input name="photos[]" type="file"><br>
	<input name="photos[]" type="file"><br>
	<input name="photos[]" type="file"><br>
	<input name="photos[]" type="file"><br>
	<input type="submit">
</form>

The PHP Portion
Code: 
<?
 $file = $_FILES['photos']; 
  
 for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($file); $i++) 
 	{ 
 		echo "inside of loop<BR>";
 		if($file['error'][$i] == 0)
 		{
 			$newfile = "C:\\Path\\To\\Destination\\".$_POST['destination']."\\".$_FILES['photos']['name'][$i];
 			
 			move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photos']['tmp_name'][$i], $newfile);
 			
 			echo "Moved : ".$newfile."<BR>";
 		}
 		else
 			echo $file['error'][$i]."<BR>";
 	}
?>

If on a windows box, make sure when yer doing your paths such as above, that there are double backslash since backslash is an escape character, on a *nix box you are more likely to be using forward slash for the path so this isnt an issue on a *nix box.

There you have it a very simple way to upload multiple files to premade destinations.
