Copy file loop

[petenaylor]

Hi all

 

I am trying to write a piece of code that copies files from a multiple selected form. Here's the form:

 

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="image[]" multiple="multiple" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

 

Here's my PHP code:

 

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$count=0;
foreach($_FILES['image'] as $filename){ 
copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], WEB_UPLOAD."/images/galleries/".$filename) or die("Error uploading image ");
$count++;
}
}

 

I get the message, Array to string conversion and no such directory found. Am I right in thinking I am sending the files as arrays?

 

Many thanks for your help.

Try changing this:

copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], WEB_UPLOAD."/images/galleries/".$filename) or die("Error uploading image ");

 

To this:

copy($filename['tmp_name'], WEB_UPLOAD."/images/galleries/".$filename['name']) or die("Error uploading image ");

 

You're assign the variable $filename to the array of data for each separate image, use $filename as the array, and then you can call each element from it.

Hi there

 

Thanks for your quick reply, I have changed that bit of code but now I get the following message:

 

Warning: copy(I) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

 

Cheers

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you're using copy() rather than move_uploaded_file()?

Hi there

 

Just tried that, I still get 'Error Uploading file'

 

I have changed the code slightly:

 

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
foreach($_FILES['image']['name'] as $filename){ 
move_uploaded_file($filename['tmp_name'], WEB_UPLOAD."/images/galleries/".$filename['name']) or die("Error uploading image ");
}
}

Try using this instead and tell me what it outputs?

<?PHP
  if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $count=0;
    foreach($_FILES['image'] as $filename){ 
      echo '<pre>'; print_r($filename); echo '</pre>';

      //move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], WEB_UPLOAD."/images/galleries/".$filename) or die("Error uploading image ");
      $count++;
    }
  }
  //### exit as we want just the plain text output from above
  exit;

?>
