I have been digging for an answer for many days. how do i upload multiple file to the newly created directory. If you look into file_upload.php you will find two $upload_dir
variable. So, let's call first $upload_dir
as direct folder and Second, $upload_dir
as make dir. Simple
So, When I select first $upload_dir
it does upload all files directly into the folder and When I select second $upload_dir
what it does is create a random folder but unable to upload any file.
I want to upload multiple file into newly created folder
I did refer this PHP - Upload multiple photos into newly created Directory and Multiple file upload and store them in a directory but didn't work for me
index.php
<form action="file_upload.php" method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<h2>Upload Files</h2>
<p>
Select files to upload:
<!-- name of the input fields are going to
be used in our php script-->
<input type="file" name="files[]" multiple>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" >
</p>
</form>
file_upload.php
<?php
// session_start();
// Check if form was submited
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// Configure upload directory and allowed file types
$rand_name = rand(1, 10000);
// $upload_dir = 'C:/fileUpload/'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
// $permit = 0777;
$allowed_types = array('jpg', 'png', 'jpeg', 'gif');
$upload_dir = mkdir('C:/fileUpload/'. $rand_name .'/'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, 0777);
// Define maxsize for files i.e 10MB
$maxsize = 10 * 1024 * 1024;
// Checks if user sent an empty form
if(!empty(array_filter($_FILES['files']['name']))) {
// Loop through each file in files[] array
foreach ($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'] as $key => $value) {
$file_tmpname = $_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$key];
$file_name = $_FILES['files']['name'][$key];
$file_size = $_FILES['files']['size'][$key];
$file_ext = pathinfo($file_name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Set upload file path
$filepath = $upload_dir.$file_name;
// Check file type is allowed or not
if(in_array(strtolower($file_ext), $allowed_types)) {
// Verify file size - 10MB max
if ($file_size > $maxsize)
echo "Error: File size is larger than the allowed limit.";
// If file with name already exist then append time in
// front of name of the file to avoid overwriting of file
if(file_exists($filepath)) {
$filepath = $upload_dir.time().$file_name;
if( move_uploaded_file($file_tmpname, $filepath)) {
echo "{$file_name} successfully uploaded <br />";
}
else {
echo "Error uploading {$file_name} <br />";
}
}
else {
if( move_uploaded_file($file_tmpname, $filepath)) {
echo "{$file_name} successfully uploaded <br />";
}
else {
echo "Error uploading {$file_name} <br />";
}
}
}
else {
// If file extention not valid
echo "Error uploading {$file_name} ";
echo "({$file_ext} file type is not allowed)<br / >";
}
}
}
else {
// If no files selected
echo "No files selected.";
}
}
?>
Please Help!
Thank you in Advance
mkdir
returns a boolean (true or false), not the created directory path.
You probably want to define the path in $upload_dir
but not assign the result of the mkdir to it:
$upload_dir = 'C:/fileUpload/'. $rand_name .'/';
if (mkdir($upload_dir, 0777)) {
//process images
}
