HI guys,

Having some issues here uploading multiple images. The code below illustrates what I need to do. Allow users to upload up to 5 images at one time.

The problem:
The PHP code below is supposed to grab the images via the $_FILES['photos'], which is the array of images...

All I want to do so far is see if there are images, another page will handle the copying etc to the correct dirs.

I just can't get the count of the number of files, what the value of count($photos_uploaded) should be...

Any ideas?

Code: 
the php code to look at the number of files
<?
$photos_uploaded = $_FILES['photos'];

 echo "<br>photos:".count($photos_uploaded);
if (count($photos_uploaded)>0){ $photos = "1"; }

?>

the relevant portion of the form...
<form name="form1" method="post" action="{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
...
			<td><font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Main
					Picture</font></td>
			<td><input name="photos[]" type="file" id="dealers_mainpic" size='32'>
				<font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(max.
			150 KB)</font></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td><font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Additional
					Pic</font></td>
			<td><input name="photos[]" type="file" id="dealers_pic2" size='32'> <!--AMEND HERE -->
				<font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(max.
			150 KB)</font>										</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>&nbsp;</td>
			<td><input name="photos[]" type="file" id="dealers_pic3" size='32'> <!--AMEND HERE -->
				<font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(max.
			150 KB)</font>										</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>&nbsp;</td>
			<td><input name="photos[]" type="file" id="dealers_pic4" size='32'> <!--AMEND HERE -->
				<font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(max.
			150 KB)</font>										</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>&nbsp;</td>
			<td><input name="photos[]" type="file" id="dealers_pic5" size='32'> <!--AMEND HERE -->
				<font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(max.
			150 KB)</font>										</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
	<pre> 					 <input name="Submit_dealers" type="submit" id="Submit_dealers" value="Submit">  <input name="Reset_dealers" type="reset" id="Reset_dealers" value="Reset"> 							</pre>
</form>

TIA

Using a test HTML page:

Code: 
<html><body>
	<form method="post" action="test_showfiles.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
		<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 name="photos[]" type="file"><br>
		<input type="submit">
	</form>
</body><html>

test_show_files.php consists of:
Code: 
<?php
print '<pre>';
print_r ($_FILES);
?>

Using Opera to point to a LAMP (RH9/2.0.50/4.0.17/5.0.0), when I select three files and submit, I get:

Code: 
Array
(
    [photos] => Array
        (
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => test_foo.html
                    [1] => firewall_script.sh
                    [2] => index.htm
                    [3] => 
                    [4] => 
                )

            [type] => Array
                (
                    [0] => text/html
                    [1] => application/x-sh
                    [2] => text/html
                    [3] => 
                    [4] => 
                )

            [tmp_name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => /tmp/php9aObpl
                    [1] => /tmp/phpJNHrcD
                    [2] => /tmp/php3HEJZU
                    [3] => 
                    [4] => 
                )

            [error] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 0
                    [1] => 0
                    [2] => 0
                    [3] => 4
                    [4] => 4
                )

            [size] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 2739
                    [1] => 3697
                    [2] => 189340
                    [3] => 0
                    [4] => 0
                )

        )

)

On my machine, the count($_FILES) will always be 5.

What do you get in $_FILES?

I get 0. It just doesn't make sense why I am not getting anything...

BTW the OS is win2K with IIS..could it be an iis issue not allowing uploads?
