Multiple File Upload

[justinweb]

Hey guys,

I can’t get my head around a script to upload multiple photos. I am using:

to be able to select an array of files and upload them to a new folder that I create for every album.

Here is my script:

if (isset($_POST) ) {
$albumTitle = $_POST;

$fileTmpName = $_FILES;
$fileName = $_FILES;
$fileType = $_FILES;
$fileSize = $_FILES;
$fileError = $_FILES;

$fileCount = count($fileName);

$albumPath = ‘albums/’;
$albumFolder = md5( uniqid( microtime(), true ) );

if ( empty($albumTitle) ) {
echo “There is no album title.
“;
exit;
}

for ( $i = 0; $i < $fileCount; $i++ ) {
if ( empty($fileName[$i]) ) {
echo “There is no file selected.
“;
exit;
}
if ( $fileType[$i] == ‘image/jpg’ || $fileType[$i] == ‘image/jpeg’ || $fileType[$i] == ‘image/png’ || $fileType[$i] == ‘image/gif’ ) {
echo “Good image type.
“;

if ( $fileError[$i] == 0 ) {
echo “The files have successfully been uploaded to the tmp folder.
“;

if ( mkdir( $albumPath . $albumFolder ) ) {
echo “Directory is successflly created.“;

move_uploaded_file($fileTmpName[$i], $albumPath . $albumFolder . ‘/’ . $fileName[$i]);
} else {
echo “Error creating a directory”;
exit;
}

} else {
echo “There was an error uploading the file.
“;
exit;
}
} else {
echo “Wrong image type.
“;
exit;
}
}
}

Basically I thought I would loop through the amount of files that were selected and move them in a folder one by one… I really don’t know if that if a good way of doing it and if there are more efficient ways (surely) but it doesn’t seem to work up to the creation of the folder…

If I upload 1 photo it works, but as soon as there is 2 or more… it doesn’t.

Thanks for the help!!!

So I have made if work finally! Here is the working script and please share if I can optimize it!

if (isset($_POST) ) {
$albumTitle = $_POST;

$fileTmpName = $_FILES;
$fileName = $_FILES;
$fileType = $_FILES;
$fileSize = $_FILES;
$fileError = $_FILES;

$fileCount = count($fileName);

$albumPath = ‘albums/’;
$albumFolder = md5( uniqid( microtime(), true ) );

if ( empty($albumTitle) ) {
echo “There is no album title.
“;
exit;
}

for ( $i = 0; $i < $fileCount; $i++ ) {
if ( empty($fileName[$i]) ) {
echo “There is no file selected.
“;
exit;
}
if ( $fileType[$i] == ‘image/jpg’ || $fileType[$i] == ‘image/jpeg’ || $fileType[$i] == ‘image/png’ || $fileType[$i] == ‘image/gif’ ) {
echo “Good image type.
“;

if ( $fileError[$i] == 0 ) {
echo “The files have successfully been uploaded to the tmp folder.
“;
} else {
echo “There was an error uploading the file.
“;
exit;
}
} else {
echo “Wrong image type.
“;
exit;
}
if ( is_dir( $albumPath . $albumFolder ) ) {
move_uploaded_file($fileTmpName[$i], $albumPath . $albumFolder . ‘/’ . $fileName[$i]);
} else {
mkdir( $albumPath . $albumFolder );
move_uploaded_file($fileTmpName[$i], $albumPath . $albumFolder . ‘/’ . $fileName[$i]);
}
}
}
