When uploading multiple files, the $_FILES variable is created in the form:
Array
(
[name] => Array
(
[0] => foo.txt
[1] => bar.txt
)
[type] => Array
(
[0] => text/plain
[1] => text/plain
)
[tmp_name] => Array
(
[0] => /tmp/phpYzdqkD
[1] => /tmp/phpeEwEWG
)
[error] => Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 0
)
[size] => Array
(
[0] => 123
[1] => 456
)
)
I found it made for a little cleaner code if I had the uploaded files array in the form
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => foo.txt
[type] => text/plain
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpYzdqkD
[error] => 0
[size] => 123
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => bar.txt
[type] => text/plain
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpeEwEWG
[error] => 0
[size] => 456
)
)
I wrote a quick function that would convert the $_FILES array to the cleaner (IMHO) array.
<?php
function reArrayFiles(&$file_post) {
$file_ary = array();
$file_count = count($file_post['name']);
$file_keys = array_keys($file_post);
for ($i=0; $i<$file_count; $i++) {
foreach ($file_keys as $key) {
$file_ary[$i][$key] = $file_post[$key][$i];
}
}
return $file_ary;
}
?>
Now I can do the following:
<?php
if ($_FILES['upload']) {
$file_ary = reArrayFiles($_FILES['ufile']);
foreach ($file_ary as $file) {
print 'File Name: ' . $file['name'];
print 'File Type: ' . $file['type'];
print 'File Size: ' . $file['size'];
}
}
?>
Télécharger plusieurs fichiers simultanément
Le téléchargement de plusieurs fichiers est possible
en utilisant des noms différents dans l'attribut
name de la balise input.
Il est aussi possible de télécharger plusieurs fichiers simultanément et d'obtenir les informations sous forme de tableau. Pour cela, vous devez utiliser la syntaxe de tableau dans les noms de balises HTML, comme vous l'avez fait avec les sélections multiples et les boîtes à cocher.
Exemple #1 Télécharger plusieurs fichiers simultanément
<form action="file-upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Envoyez plusieurs fichiers : <br /> <input name="userfile[]" type="file" /><br /> <input name="userfile[]" type="file" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Envoyer les fichiers" /> </form>
Lorsque le formulaire ci-dessus a été envoyé, les tableaux $_FILES['userfile'], $_FILES['userfile']['name'], et $_FILES['userfile']['size'] seront initialisés.
Par exemple, supposons que les fichiers /home/test/review.html et /home/test/xwp.out ont été téléchargés. Dans ce cas, $_FILES['userfile']['name'][0] contient review.html et $_FILES['userfile']['name'][1] contient xwp.out. Similairement, $_FILES['userfile']['size'][0] va contenir la taille du fichier review.html, etc.
$_FILES['userfile']['name'][0], $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][0], $_FILES['userfile']['size'][0] et $_FILES['userfile']['type'][0] sont aussi créées.
Avertissement
Le paramètre max_file_uploads limite le nombre de fichiers qui peuvent être envoyés en une requête. Vous devrez vérifier que votre formulaire ne tente pas d'envoyer plus de fichiers dans la requête que ne le tolère cette limite.
Exemple #2 Téléverser un dossier entier
Dans les champs de téléversement de fichier HTML, il est possible de
téléverser un dossier entier avec l'attribut webkitdirectory.
Cette fonctionnalité est supportée dans la plupart des navigateurs modernes.
Avec l'information full_path, il est possible de
stocker les chemins relatifs ou reconstruire la même hiérarchie de dossier sur le dossier.
<form action="file-upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Send this directory:<br /> <input name="userfile[]" type="file" webkitdirectory multiple /> <input type="submit" value="Send files" /> </form>
Avertissement
L'attribut webkitdirectory n'est pas standard et n'est
pas actuellement en cours de standardisation.
Ceci n'est pas à utiliser sur des sites de production tournés vers le Web :
ça ne fonctionnera pas pour tous les utilisateurs.
Il peut y avoir de grandes incompatibilités parmi les implémentations
et le comportement peut changer dans le futur.
PHP analyse uniquement les informations des chemins relatifs soumit par
le navigateur/user-agent et transmet les informations dans le tableau
$_FILES.
Il n'y a aucune garanties que les valeurs dans le tableau
full_path contienne une vraie structure de dossier
et l'application PHP ne doit pas faire confiance à cette information.

A bit update to 14 year ago note from "phpuser at gmail dot com".
That update converts to a really more friendly array form incoming _POST info for uploaded files.
And that variants works identical for non-multiple uploads and multiple uploads:
<?php
//Функция переформатирует массив поданных POST'ом файлов
function reArrayFiles(&$file_post){
$isMulti = is_array($file_post['name']);
$file_count = $isMulti?count($file_post['name']):1;
$file_keys = array_keys($file_post);
$file_ary = []; //Итоговый массив
for($i=0; $i<$file_count; $i++)
foreach($file_keys as $key)
if($isMulti)
$file_ary[$i][$key] = $file_post[$key][$i];
else
$file_ary[$i][$key] = $file_post[$key];
return $file_ary;
}
?>

This is also needed for <input type=file multiple> elements.
So, if you have an input element like this:
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="foobar" />
This should be written as
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="foobar[]" />
else you'll only be able to get one of the files.

Here is a function to fix the indices of a multi-dimensional for easier parsing when dealing with file uploads. It takes a single $_FILES field array as a parameter and separates each individual uploaded file by numeric key. This allows for iterating like:
<?php
fixFilesArray($_FILES['array_of_files']);
foreach ($_FILES['array_of_files'] as $position => $file) {
// should output array with indices name, type, tmp_name, error, size
var_dump($file);
}
?>
Here's the code:
<?php
/**
* Fixes the odd indexing of multiple file uploads from the format:
*
* $_FILES['field']['key']['index']
*
* To the more standard and appropriate:
*
* $_FILES['field']['index']['key']
*
* @param array $files
* @author Corey Ballou
* @link http://www.jqueryin.com
*/
function fixFilesArray(&$files)
{
$names = array( 'name' => 1, 'type' => 1, 'tmp_name' => 1, 'error' => 1, 'size' => 1);
foreach ($files as $key => $part) {
// only deal with valid keys and multiple files
$key = (string) $key;
if (isset($names[$key]) && is_array($part)) {
foreach ($part as $position => $value) {
$files[$position][$key] = $value;
}
// remove old key reference
unset($files[$key]);
}
}
}
?>

The cleanest way to rearrange the $_FILES
<?php
function rearrange( $arr ){
foreach( $arr as $key => $all ){
foreach( $all as $i => $val ){
$new[$i][$key] = $val;
}
}
return $new;
}

This is a very simple example:
Part I : HTML
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" multipart="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="img[]" multiple>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Part II : PHP
<?php
echo '<pre>';
$img = $_FILES['img'];
if(!empty($img))
{
$img_desc = reArrayFiles($img);
print_r($img_desc);
foreach($img_desc as $val)
{
$newname = date('YmdHis',time()).mt_rand().'.jpg';
move_uploaded_file($val['tmp_name'],'./uploads/'.$newname);
}
}
function reArrayFiles($file)
{
$file_ary = array();
$file_count = count($file['name']);
$file_key = array_keys($file);
for($i=0;$i<$file_count;$i++)
{
foreach($file_key as $val)
{
$file_ary[$i][$val] = $file[$val][$i];
}
}
return $file_ary;

Just combine temporary path with the filename which will result an array like:
array(2) {
["/tmp/phpAYCvcc"]=> string(10) "file1.jpg"
["/tmp/phpCDg79o"]=> string(10) "file2.jpg"
}
The code:
$files = array_combine(
$_FILES['receipt']['tmp_name'],
$_FILES['receipt']['name']
);
foreach ($files as $key => $value) {
// save your files locally
}

If you try and upload files with multi-dimensional names like this:
<input type="file" name="submission[screenshot]" />
<input type="file" name="other[dem][][img][]" />
You will get an unexpected format like this:
<?php
array(
'submission' => array
(
'name' => array( 'screenshot' => 'monster_wallpaper.jpg' ),
'type' => array( 'screenshot' => 'image/jpeg' ),
'tmp_name' => array( 'screenshot' => '/tmp/php48lX2Y' ),
'error' => array( 'screenshot' => 0 ),
'size' => array( 'screenshot' => 223262 ),
),
....
?>
You can use the following function to re-format the array recursively in the usual format:
<?php
function format_files_array( $files, $name = null, &$new = false, $path = false ){
$names = array( 'name' => 'name', 'type' => 'type', 'tmp_name' => 'tmp_name', 'error' => 'error', 'size' => 'size' );
foreach( $files as $key => &$part )
{
$key = ( string ) $key;
if( in_array( $key, $names ) )
$name = $key;
if( !in_array( $key, $names ) )
$path[] = $key;
if( is_array( $part ) )
$part = format_files_array( $part, $name, $new, $path );
elseif( !is_array( $part ) )
{
$current =& $new;
foreach( $path as $p )
$current =& $current[$p];
$current[$name] = $part;
unset( $path );
$name = null;
}
}
return $new;
}
?>

Recursive solution for complex situations (supports any nested arrays including indexed arrays)
function getFixedFilesArray() {
$walker = function ($arr, $fileInfokey, callable $walker) {
$ret = array();
foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
if (is_array($v)) {
$ret[$k] = $walker($v, $fileInfokey, $walker);
} else {
$ret[$k][$fileInfokey] = $v;
}
}
return $ret;
};
$files = array();
foreach ($_FILES as $name => $values) {
// init for array_merge
if (!isset($files[$name])) {
$files[$name] = array();
}
if (!is_array($values['error'])) {
// normal syntax
$files[$name] = $values;
} else {
// html array feature
foreach ($values as $fileInfoKey => $subArray) {
$files[$name] = array_replace_recursive($files[$name], $walker($subArray, $fileInfoKey, $walker));
}
}
}
return $files;
}

This is just a modification of the code which is the top note by "phpuser" here. His/her version requires that the $file_post array passed in to the function was created by a form submitted with the multiple attribute set. With multiple set in the html input tag, $_FILES["fileInputName"]["name"] is an array no matter if only one file is sent or multiple. But when <input type="file"> is used without the multiple attribute then $_FILES["fileInputName"]["name"] is not an array, it contains the the string with the filename. To use this neat function with or without multiple set and to get back an array which you can "foreach" over in either case, use this modification:
function reArrayFiles(&$file_post)
{
$file_ary = array();
$multiple = is_array($file_post['name']);
$file_count = $multiple ? count($file_post['name']) : 1;
$file_keys = array_keys($file_post);
for ($i=0; $i<$file_count; $i++)
{
foreach ($file_keys as $key)
{
$file_ary[$i][$key] = $multiple ? $file_post[$key][$i] : $file_post[$key];
}
}
return $file_ary;
}

With multiple file uploads
post_max_size: the total amount of data posted by the client (all files, and all other form field)
upload_max_filesize: the maximum size of 1 single file. (just like <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="..."/>)
so, with the directives:
post_max_size 25M
upload_max_filesize 2M
you can send 12 files of up to 2 MB and use up to 1 MB for your additional form-values.
As long as you read only a single copy of 1 file into memory, the memory_limit directive can be held reasonable small as well.

I prefer something like this!
<?php
public function arrayImages ( &$file_post )
{
if( empty( $file_post ) ) {
return $file_post;
}
if( 'array'!==gettype($file_post['name']) ) {
return $file_post;
}
$keys = array_keys($file_post['name']);
$file_array = array();
foreach ($keys as $key) {
foreach ($file_post as $res=>$item) {
$file_array[$key][$res] = $item[$key];
}
}
return $file_array;
}
?>

Once I had to do a maintenance in a huge ERP that had several multiple upload inputs inside an array. Just like this:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" multiple name="upload[avatar]" />
<input type="file" multiple name="upload[attachment]" />
<input type="file" multiple name="upload2[avatar]" />
<input type="file" multiple name="upload2[attachment]" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
The $_FILES array is created like this:
Array
(
[upload] => Array
(
[name] => Array
(
[avatar] => teste.c
[attachment] => teste
)
[type] => Array
(
[avatar] => text/x-csrc
[attachment] => application/octet-stream
)
[tmp_name] => Array
(
[avatar] => /opt/lampp/temp/phpuf3KNj
[attachment] => /opt/lampp/temp/php0yPZap
)
[error] => Array
(
[avatar] => 0
[attachment] => 0
)
[size] => Array
(
[avatar] => 1960
[attachment] => 8661
)
)
[upload2] => Array
(
[name] => Array
(
[avatar] => jefrey.html
[attachment] => notas.txt
)
[type] => Array
(
[avatar] => text/html
[attachment] => text/plain
)
[tmp_name] => Array
(
[avatar] => /opt/lampp/temp/php87nfyu
[attachment] => /opt/lampp/temp/phpUBlvVz
)
[error] => Array
(
[avatar] => 0
[attachment] => 0
)
[size] => Array
(
[avatar] => 583
[attachment] => 191
)
)
)
I've managed to re-arrange this array like this:
Array
(
[upload] => Array
(
[avatar] => Array
(
[name] => teste.c
[type] => text/x-csrc
[tmp_name] => /opt/lampp/temp/phpuf3KNj
[error] => 0
[size] => 1960
)
[attachment] => Array
(
[name] => teste
[type] => application/octet-stream
[tmp_name] => /opt/lampp/temp/php0yPZap
[error] => 0
[size] => 8661
)
)
[upload2] => Array
(
[avatar] => Array
(
[name] => jefrey.html
[type] => text/html
[tmp_name] => /opt/lampp/temp/php87nfyu
[error] => 0
[size] => 583
)
[attachment] => Array
(
[name] => notas.txt
[type] => text/plain
[tmp_name] => /opt/lampp/temp/phpUBlvVz
[error] => 0
[size] => 191
)
)
)
Here's my snippet:
<?php
function reArrayFilesMultiple(&$files) {
$uploads = array();
foreach($_FILES as $key0=>$FILES) {
foreach($FILES as $key=>$value) {
foreach($value as $key2=>$value2) {
$uploads[$key0][$key2][$key] = $value2;
}
}
}
$files = $uploads;
return $uploads; // prevent misuse issue
}
?>

by simply naming differently each file input you'll get easily accesible arrays from $_FILES, in the form $_FILES['input_name']['file_attribute']. For example:
$_FILES['input_name1']['name']...['input_name1']['size']
$_FILES['input_name2']['name']...['input_name2']['size']
$_FILES['input_nameX']['name']...['input_nameX']['size']

If you want to upload multiple file at once, remember "multiple" attribute:
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="file[]" enctype="multipart/form-data"/>

While code from phpuser.at.gmail.dot.com is good and i.g.e.o@ya.(dot).ru is even better, there is no end to perfection. We can live without temporary variables
<?php
foreach ($_FILES as $field=>$files) {
#Check if multiple files were uploaded to a field and process the values accordingly
if (is_array($files['name'])) {
foreach ($files['name'] as $key=>$file) {
$_FILES[$field][$key]['name'] = $file;
$_FILES[$field][$key]['type'] = $files['type'][$key];
$_FILES[$field][$key]['size'] = $files['size'][$key];
$_FILES[$field][$key]['tmp_name'] = $files['tmp_name'][$key];
$_FILES[$field][$key]['error'] = $files['error'][$key];
}
} else {
$_FILES[$field][0]['name'] = $files['name'];
$_FILES[$field][0]['type'] = $files['type'];
$_FILES[$field][0]['size'] = $files['size'];
$_FILES[$field][0]['tmp_name'] = $files['tmp_name'];
$_FILES[$field][0]['error'] = $files['error'];
}
unset($_FILES[$field]['name'], $_FILES[$field]['type'], $_FILES[$field]['size'], $_FILES[$field]['tmp_name'], $_FILES[$field]['error']);
}
