multiple upload form help

[Gem]

Hey guys.

 

I'm using this script to handle file (picture) uploads at the moment, and it works fine. Problem is though, I need to changeit to a multiple upload form (with 10 uploads per submit) and I dont know how to do it.

 

I think ...

 

I need to change this "<input type="file" name="image" >" to an array ... and put a "for each" loop or something somewhere ... but I really don't know what I am doing.

 

Can someone please help?

 

Thanks

// because we have to keep the image ratio intact or it will be deformed
define ("WIDTH","150"); 
define ("HEIGHT","100"); 

// this is the function that will create the thumbnail image from the uploaded image
// the resize will be done considering the width and height defined, but without deforming the image

You could just have a zip uploader, then once the zip has uploaded you can iterate through the files contained in that file; Or you can have ten separate file selector boxes, and just loop through each of those, so your logic wasn't far off!
