In this article, you will learn how to upload multiple files in PHP.
Upload Multiple Files
In order to upload multiple files, you can use the move_uploaded_file() method.
<html>
<body>
<form method='post' action='' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<!-- Input of type multiple files -->
<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file" multiple>
<!-- Upload button -->
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload'>
</form>
<?php
// Path to store uploaded file
$path = "C:/xampp/htdocs/";
// If the submit button is pressed
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
// Count total files
$fileCount = count($_FILES['file']['name']);
// Iterate through the files
for($i = 0; $i < $fileCount; $i++){
$file = $_FILES['file']['name'][$i];
// Upload file to $path
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i], $file);
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Note: The move_uploaded_file() method functions by moving an uploaded file into a new location.
