I noticed that the manual does not have a basic processing script for testing purposes to process multiple file uploads. It took me about an hour to figure this out so I figured it should help some newbie.
Also on windows, the OS does not care if you use backslashes and front slashes while writing up a directory path. So for compatibility with *nix just keep it as a foward slash.
(Tested with php5, php4, apache 1.3x and 2x, on winxp pro, win2k pro and win98se and freebsd.)
The script is kept simple for illustration purposes. Dont use it in a production environment.
The form
<form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="500000">
<?
for($i = 1; $i <= $_POST[totalfiles]; $i++) { echo $i.'. <input type="file" name="photos[]"><br>'."\n"; }
?>
<input type="submit" name="sendfiles" value="Send Files"></form>
The processing script, for simplicities sake in the same file.
if ($_POST[sendfiles]) {
print_r($_POST); echo '<pre>'; print_r($_FILES); echo '</pre>';
$uploaddir = getcwd().'/photos/; //a directory inside
foreach ($_FILES[photos][name] as $key => $value) {
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES[photos][name][$key]);
//echo $uploadfile;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photos']['tmp_name'][$key], $uploadfile)) { echo $value . ' uploaded<br>'; }
}
}
上传多个文件
可以对 input 域使用不同的 name 来上传多个文件。
PHP 支持同时上传多个文件并将它们的信息自动以数组的形式组织。要完成这项功能，需要在 HTML 表单中对文件上传域使用和多选框与复选框相同的数组式提交语法。
注意: 对多文件上传的支持是在 PHP 3.0.10 版本添加的。
当以上表单被提交后，数组
$_FILES['userfile']，$_FILES['userfile']['name']
和 $_FILES['userfile']['size'] 将被初始化（在
PHP 4.1.0 以前版本是 $HTTP_POST_FILES）。如果
register_globals
的设置为 on，则和文件上传相关的全局变量也将被初始化。所有这些提交的信息都将被储存到以数字为索引的数组中。
例如，假设名为 /home/test/review.html 和
/home/test/xwp.out 的文件被提交，则
$_FILES['userfile']['name'][0] 的值将是
review.html，而
$_FILES['userfile']['name'][1] 的值将是
xwp.out。类似的，$_FILES['userfile']['size'][0]
将包含文件 review.html 的大小，依此类推。
此外也同时设置了 $_FILES['userfile']['name'][0]，$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][0]，$_FILES['userfile']['size'][0]
以及 $_FILES['userfile']['type'][0]。

Here is a the simple test form I needed, pieced togther from 2 or 3 posts in the documentation elsewhere.
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Form for uploading image to server</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>Pictures:
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</p>
</form>
<?php
//places files into same dir as form resides
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
echo"$error_codes[$error]";
move_uploaded_file(
$_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key],
$_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key]
) or die("Problems with upload");
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>

re: phpuser's comment
I found that if instead of the form structure at the top of the page use one like this:
<form action="file-upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Send these files:<br />
<input name="userfile1" type="file" /><br />
<input name="userfile2" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send files" />
</form>
Notice the names are unique and not an array element. Now the array is structured more like phpuser would like. I did this and used...
foreach ($_FILES as $file) { ... }
without issue.

Re: phpuser_at_gmail's comment, a simpler way to have create that data structure is to name your HTML file inputs different names. If you want to upload multiple files, use:
<input type=file name=file1>
<input type=file name=file2>
<input type=file name=file3>
etc...
Each field name will be a key in the $_FILES array.

Elaboration on phpuser at gmail dot com reArrayFiles() function (which assumed sequential, integer keys and uni-dimensional), this function will work regardless of key and key depth:
<?php
// information grouper
function groupFileInfoByVariable(&$top, $info, $attr) {
if (is_array($info)) {
foreach ($info as $var => $val) {
if (is_array($val)) {
groupFileInfoByVariable($top[$var], $val, $attr);
} else {
$top[$var][$attr] = $val;
}
}
} else {
$top[$attr] = $info;
}
return true;
}
// usage
$newOrdering = array ();
foreach ($_FILES as $var => $info) {
foreach (array_keys($info) as $attr) {
groupFileInfoByVariable($newOrdering, $info[$attr], $attr);
}
}
// $newOrdering holds the updated order
?>

When uploading multiple files, the $_FILES variable is created in the form:
Array
(
[name] => Array
(
[0] => foo.txt
[1] => bar.txt
)
[type] => Array
(
[0] => text/plain
[1] => text/plain
)
[tmp_name] => Array
(
[0] => /tmp/phpYzdqkD
[1] => /tmp/phpeEwEWG
)
[error] => Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 0
)
[size] => Array
(
[0] => 123
[1] => 456
)
)
I found it made for a little cleaner code if I had the uploaded files array in the form
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => foo.txt
[type] => text/plain
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpYzdqkD
[error] => 0
[size] => 123
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => bar.txt
[type] => text/plain
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpeEwEWG
[error] => 0
[size] => 456
)
)
I wrote a quick function that would convert the $_FILES array to the cleaner (IMHO) array.
<?php
function reArrayFiles(&$file_post) {
$file_ary = array();
$file_count = count($file_post['name']);
$file_keys = array_keys($file_post);
for ($i=0; $i<$file_count; $i++) {
foreach ($file_keys as $key) {
$file_ary[$i][$key] = $file_post[$key][$i];
}
}
return $file_ary;
}
?>
Now I can do the following:
<?php
if ($_FILES['upload']) {
$file_ary = reArrayFiles($_FILES['ufile']);
foreach ($file_ary as $file) {
print 'File Name: ' . $file['name'];
print 'File Type: ' . $file['type'];
print 'File Size: ' . $file['size'];
}
}
?>
