[SOLVED] foreach problem

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

what i'm trying to do is grab the file contents from some files that are uploaded for example:

 

     $content = file_get_contents("file/$renamed_file"); 
     $file_for_mysql = mysql_real_escape_string($content);

 

if i put this in a foreach and try to echo it out i get nothing but if i take it out the foreach i get the file contents from 1 of the files, but not them all. extra code:

 

	 foreach($_FILES['files']['name'] as $key => $value) {

 $new_nfo_name = basename($value);

     $random_number_again = rand(00000000,99999999);
     $renamed_file = ("$random_number_again.txt");

 $target_path2 = "files/";
 $target_path2 = $target_path2.$renamed_file; 

 //echo $target_path2;

 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$key], $target_path2)) {


 }

$content = file_get_contents("file/$renamed_file"); 
     $file_for_mysql = mysql_real_escape_string($content);
     
     echo $file_for_mysql;


 } 

 

maybe my foreach was wrong, the user can specify from 2-5 how many uploads they want to do, i was wanting to be able to read the files and store all the contents into mysql, works well enough with 1 file but need to do with all the files uploaded.

 

any help would be appreciated

You are using the variable "name" inside the arrays as the array parameter for foreach. You need to use just the array, like $_FILES.

foreach($_FILES as $key => $value) {
echo $value['name'];
}

 

I think the $key is just going to be an incremented integer, so it isn't really necessary.

Hi Mate,

 

tried:

 

	 foreach($_FILES['files']['name'] as $keys => $values) {

 $file = basename($values);

     $content = file_get_contents("$file"); 
     $file_for_mysql = mysql_real_escape_string($content);

     echo $file_for_mysql;
     
     }

 

this isnt retrieving anything from:

 

     $content = file_get_contents("$file"); 
     $file_for_mysql = mysql_real_escape_string($content);

 

im stumped lol

You didn't even do what I suggested. Use "$_FILES" instead of "$_FILES['files']['names']". Then the $values will be arrays containing information about the files, like I showed in my previous post.

I believe you need to do the following:

 

foreach ($_FILES['files'] AS $key=>$val) {
  echo $key . ': ' . $val;
}

 

I believe that should output all the file information you're looking for; name, size, and type.

 

Let me know if that doesn't work.

That code will only give the information for one file, he wants all of the files, I think.
