[neo71]

hi to everyone and sorry for my English. in a html form, a user can upload from one to four file intwo different category (A and B)

<table>
<tr>
<td><b><i>Categoria a</i><b/>
</td>
<td><b><i>Categoria b</i><b/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top; width: 475px;"><br /><b>File 1a<b/></td>
<td style="vertical-align: top; width: 475px;"><br /><b>File 1b<b/></td>
</tr>
	<tr>
<td><br>
<input name="file" type="file">
</td>
<td><br>
<input name="file1" type="file"></td>
</tr>
	<tr>
<td> Luogo dello scatto *:<br>
<input name="luogo1" type="text"><br>
</td>
<td> Luogo dello scatto *:<br>
<input name="luogo2" type="text"> <br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Titolo  *:<br>
<input name="titolo1" type="text"><br>
</td>
<td> Titolo  *:<br>
<input name="titolo2" type="text"> <br>
</td>
</tr>
	
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top; width: 475px;"><br /><b>File 2a<b/></td>
<td style="vertical-align: top; width: 475px;"><br /><b>File 2b<b/></td>
</tr>
	<tr>
<td><br>
<input name="file2" type="file">
</td>
<td><br>
<input name="file3" type="file"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td> Luogo  *:<br>
<input name="luogo3" type="text"><br>
</td>
<td> Luogo *:<br>
<input name="luogo4" type="text"> <br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Titolo *:<br>
<input name="titolo3" type="text"><br>
</td>
<td> Titolo  *:<br>
<input name="titolo4" type="text"> <br>
</td>
</tr>

they are then passed to the upload.php file

..... for each file:

	$file_1 = rand(1000,100000)."-".$_FILES['file']['name'];
    $file_1_loc = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    $file_1_size = $_FILES['file']['size'];
    $file_1_type = $_FILES['file']['type'];    
    $folder1= "uploads/categoria_a/";
    
$file_2 = rand(1000,100000)."-".$_FILES['file1']['name'];
    $file_2_loc = $_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'];
    $file_2_size = $_FILES['file1']['size'];
    $file_2_type = $_FILES['file1']['type'];
    $folder2 = "uploads/categoria_b/";
    
and so on...
	

        
then the upload...    

                                        
                                                
if (move_uploaded_file($file_1_loc,$folder1.$final_file_1) || move_uploaded_file($file_2_loc,$folder2.$final_file_2) || move_uploaded_file($file_3_loc,$folder1.$final_file_3) || move_uploaded_file($file_4_loc,$folder2.$final_file_4))
                                                    
                                                                                    
                                                
                                                    {
                                                    $sql="INSERT INTO .. 
(here all the data entry part in the sql  table that works..... 
	 ,,,                              ','$caricateil')";
                                                    mysql_query($sql);    
	
                                        <script>
                                        alert("Invio dati eseguito correttamente. ");
                                        window.location.href='index.php?success';
                                        </script>
                                        <?php
            
                                                    } else     {
                                                            ?>
                                                            <script>
                                                            alert("Errore nell'invio dei dati");
                                                            window.history.back(1); 
                                                            </script>
                                                            <?php
                                                            }
                                                    } 
    
                                    } ......
	

well.. if I use the code
 
if (move_uploaded_file($file_1_loc,$folder 1.$final_file_1) || move_uploaded_file($file_2_loc,$folder 2.$final_file_2 )|| move_uploaded_file($file_3_loc,$folder 1.$final_file_3) || move_uploaded_file($file_4_loc,$folder 2.$final_file_4))
{
$sql="INSERT INTO ......

**Loads only the first of the 4 files** it finds even if the db is populated correctly with file name size....

If, on the other hand, I use

if (move_uploaded_file($file_1_loc,$folder 1.$final_file_1) &&move_uploaded_file($file_2_loc,$folder 2.$final_file_2) && move_uploaded_file($file_3_loc,$folder 1.$final_file_3) &&move_uploaded_file($file_4_loc,$folder 2.$final_file_4))

Works... but only if all 4 files are present.

However, a person can only upload one.. in position 1, 2, 3 or 4.....

If one of the 4 is empty, the upload stops. I hope I explained myself....
If I load files 1, 3 and 4, load only the first...

If I insert files 2 and 4, load only the 2 etc.
And also from error even if it uploads the first files...

I would like you to upload the files and continue the script regardless of which file is up-to-date...

I hope I have been clear.

You need to tell HTML that you are uploading multiple files.

See "Uploading multiple files".
