How to Upload Multiple Images from HTML from to FIles?

[tahakirmani]

I am trying to upload multiple files from HTML form to a folder and storing information in my database. I have written the following code, but it is not working correctly. If I upload 1 image and left the other two Image fields,then it stores 3 images of same name and same Image and if I upload 3 different Images in three difference fields then it takes only the last image and replace others with it, and shows the same image for all.

In Simple the problem is that it is still uploading just 1 file, but now its entring data 3 times in database.

Kindly guide me.

HTML Image Fields

<file> <Image2> <Image3>

$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));

i recommend starting with the example form and form processing code in Example #3 in the php.net documentation - http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php

 

this uses an array for the form fields and uses a loop to eliminate all the repetitive code. the if(){} conditional statement in that code will only be true if an image was successfully upload.
