tech0925 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 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."; } } } } ?> <div id="mainWrapper"> <div id="main"> <div class="top_bg"></div> <div class="description_pane"> <h2>Upload More Photos</h2> <?php if (!empty($errors)) { echo "<ul>"; foreach ($errors as $error) { echo "<li>{$error}</li>"; } echo "</ul>"; } ############################### HTML FORM while($i++ < $upload_image_limit){ $form_img .= '<label>Image '.$i.': </label> <input type="file" name="image'.$i.'"><br /><br />'; } $htmo .= ' <form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data"> '.$form_img.' <br /> <input type="submit" value="Upload Images" name="Submit" style="margin-left: 50px;" /> </form> '; echo $htmo; ?> <br /> </div> </div><!--end main --> <div class="main_bottom"></div> </div><!--end mainWrapper --> <? include '../templates/footer.php'; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/250814-need-help-with-array-and-loop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodral Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi You can use a simple For loop for this. // Generate a random name for the file and move it for($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); } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/250814-need-help-with-array-and-loop/#findComment-1286975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
