Amend code to allow multiple attachments

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi

I have a php page that allows the user to browse to a file (image) then sumbit, the confirmation page then has the following code which uploads the said file to the hosting server, but also appends a unique number (WOref) to the file name and saves some other information to a MYSQL database. It also confirms the upload by showing a preview of the image. What I want is to allow at the browse for file stage, for it to select more than one file, and then upload those files using the same principles below. Any ideas?


Extract from Initial page with file browse button and area:

<input type="file" name="photo">



Extract from Confirmation page of the code which uploads file etc:
<?php
//This gets all the other information from the form
$name=$_POST['WOref'];
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);

//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "uploads/";
$target = $target .$name. basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `attachments` VALUES ('$name','$pic','$target',current_timestamp)") ;

//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target))
{

//Tells you if its all ok
echo "The file " .$pic. basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
}
else {

//Gives and error if its not
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>

<?php chmod( $target , 0644 );?>

<img src="<?php print $target; ?>">



Many many thanks.
