Advice on multiple uploads into mysql

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

i have a page where users can select 1-5, this indicates how many files they want to upload, im used to just dealing with 1 upload at a time, i was wondering how i would go about inputting multiple entries into mysql also my input name will be different i take it aswell eh currently its:

 

echo '<form method="POST" action="uploadnzb.php"> 
           <p> 
           <select name="uploadsneeded"> 
           <option value="1">1</option> 
           <option value="2">2</option> 
           <option value="3">3</option> 
           <option value="4">4</option> 
           <option value="5">5</option> 
           </select><input type="submit" name="upsneeded" value="Upload!" /><br /><br />  

 

then the upload code part of:

 

<?php   
                ## how many files ######################################################## 
                for($n=0; $n < $neededfiles; $n++) {  
                             
                echo '<input type="hidden" name="need_1" value="'.$neededfiles1.'"><input type="file" name="files1"><br />'; 
                 
                }                 
?> 
                </td> 
                </tr> 
                <tr> 
                <td align="right" /><b>RAR/ZIP</b></td><td align="left"> 
<?php 

                for($i=0; $i < $uploadsneeded; $i++){ 

                echo '<input type="hidden" name="need_2" value="'.$uploadsneeded.'"><input type="file" name="files2" ><br />'; 

                }  
?> 

 

depending on what the user select thats how many upload fields are displayed, would i need to loop them into mysql? not to sure what i need to do next lol

 

thanks for nay help guys
