now what would i do if i wanted to download more then one file at a time ? that what i was having a hard time with at this point in time the only code i found that will work is $ext = findexts ($_FILES['file']['name']) ; $ran = rand () ; $ran2 = $ran."."; $target = "upload/"; $target = $target . $ran2.$ext; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "<BR>The file has been uploaded as ".$ran2.$ext; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.<br>"; } /////////////////////////////////////////////////// $ext2 = findexts ($_FILES['file2']['name']) ; $ran2 = rand () ; $ran22 = $ran2."."; $target = "upload/"; $target = $target . $ran22.$ext2; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file2']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "<BR>The file has been uploaded as ".$ran22.$ext2; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.<BR>"; } ////////////////////////////////////////////////// $ext3 = findexts ($_FILES['file3']['name']) ; $ran3 = rand () ; $ran23 = $ran3."."; $target = "upload/"; $target = $target . $ran23.$ext3; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file3']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "<BR>The file has been uploaded as ".$ran23.$ext3; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.<BR>"; } ////////////////////////////////////////////////// and this is only to upload 3 files lol every time i have to add a new set of lines but now im having a hard time with puting the names into the SQL i was thinking using $uploaded_video=$_POST['$ran2.$ext']; would work but the $ran2.$ext just sends it back to the rand() and give me back a new # lol even after that it still didnt put the name into the database not sure why yet

I have 2 sites here that does what i need them to do but i dont know how to put the 2 codes together i got it to upload all files and used rand() to give the files a # but it ends up giving them all the same # lol so they overwrite them selfs lol This site shows how to upload mltiple fiels with php. http://www.ehow.com/how_6345068_upload-multiple-files-php.html This site shows how to rename only 1 file uploaded with rand() http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/rename_upload.htm i pray this is not to hard to do and if any one gets bored after words can you show how to block a file type from being uploaded ? like php/exe types PS)i would call my self a php newbe lol and ty you for your time and help Code from http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/rename_upload.htm <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST"> Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Upload" /> </form> //This function separates the extension from the rest of the file name and returns it function findexts ($filename) { $filename = strtolower($filename) ; $exts = split("[/\\.]", $filename) ; $n = count($exts)-1; $exts = $exts[$n]; return $exts; } //This applies the function to our file $ext = findexts ($_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; //This line assigns a random number to a variable. You could also use a timestamp here if you prefer. $ran = rand () ; //This takes the random number (or timestamp) you generated and adds a . on the end, so it is ready of the file extension to be appended. $ran2 = $ran."."; //This assigns the subdirectory you want to save into... make sure it exists! $target = "images/"; //This combines the directory, the random file name, and the extension $target = $target . $ran2.$ext; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file has been uploaded as ".$ran2.$ext; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } The code from http://www.ehow.com/how_6345068_upload-multiple-files-php.html <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> File: <input type="file" name="file[]"/><br/> File: <input type="file" name="file[]"/><br/> File: <input type="file" name="file[]"/><br/> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload"/> </form> $destpath = "upload/" ; while(list($key,$value) = each($_FILES["file"]["name"])) { if(!empty($value)){ f ($_FILES["file"]["error"][$key] > 0) { echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"][$key] . "<br/>" ; } else { $source = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$key] ; $filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"][$key] ; move_uploaded_file($source, $destpath . $filename) ; echo "Uploaded: " . $destpath . $filename . "<br/>" ; } } }
