Need help with array and loop

[tech0925]

Hello everyone! I am new here and this is my first post. I have been a member at another forum which they tend to make fun of newbies instead of helping them learn. That is why I am here 

 

Below is my script that allows me to upload 6 images at once and this works nicely. However, I am trying to change the variable $newname to increment in each pass so that I can build some if statements for my sql query. I would like the variable to start from $newname1 and should end up with 6 of them with the last being $newname6. That way I can have 6 unique picture variables that I can either update or insert into my table. Any help here would be great!

 

 

$upload_image_limit = 6; // How many images you want to upload at once?
define('MAX_SIZE', '100');
define('UPLOAD_DIRECTORY', '../memberYard');

// Define a list of extensions we want to allow.
$allowable = array('.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png');

$errors = array();
if (isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
    if (!empty($_FILES))
    {
        foreach ($_FILES as $file)
        {
            // No need for a separate function to get a file's extension
            $extension = substr($file['name'], strpos($file['name'], "."));
            $size      = filesize($file['tmp_name']);

            // Check if the file's extension is in the permissable list
            if (!in_array(strtolower($extension), $allowable))
            {
                $errors[] = "File {$file['name']} is of an unknown type.";
                continue;
            }

            // Check that the file size is OK
            if ($size > MAX_SIZE * 1024)
            {
                $errors[] = "File {$file['name']} is too big.";
                continue;
            }

            // Generate a random name for the file and move it
            $newname = substr(md5(microtime()), 0, 12) . $extension;
            $copied = move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], UPLOAD_DIRECTORY . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $newname);

            if ($copied === FALSE)
            {
                $errors[] = "File {$file['name']} could not be uploaded.";
            }
        }
    }
}

       
        
?>

Hi

 

You can use a simple For loop for this.

 

// Generate a random name for the file and move it
for($i=1, $i>=6, $i++){
$newname = substr(md5(microtime()), 0, 12) . $extension;            
$copied = move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], UPLOAD_DIRECTORY . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $newname.$i);
}
