Good day ,wish to know how to upload multiple image files with multiple inputs and multiple directories. My code is

    <table border="1px" width="100%"> <tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#E8E8E8"><b>Supporting documents upload</b></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="pri" required ></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="oresult" required ></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="oresult2" required ></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="dob" required ></td></tr> <table border="1px" width="100%"> <tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#E8E8E8"><b>Upload Passport Photograph</b></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="photo" required ></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td colspan="3"><div class="subm" ><input style="font-size:18px; height:45px; font-weight:bold; color:#0033FF" type="submit" style="height:50px" name="submit1" value="Save / Submit Form" ></div></td></tr> </table> </form>

and it connects to

<?php
require 'database.php';
$code_id = $_SESSION['SESS_CODE_NAME'];
 $d = date('D d M Y');
$t = date('h : i : sA');
$uploadDir = 'student_pic/';
$fileName = $_FILES['photo']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['photo']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['photo']['type'];
$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;
$result = move_uploaded_file ($tmpName, $filePath);
if (!$result){
echo "error uploading file";
exit;
}
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes ($fileName);
$filePath= addslashes ($filePath);
}

$q = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM studentreg WHERE jamb='$jamb'");
$ja = mysql_fetch_assoc($q);
if ($ja > 0){
echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("This Jamb Number has already been taken")
</script>';

}
else{
$query = "INSERT INTO studentreg (pri, oresult, oresult2, dob, photo) VALUES ('$pri', '$oresult', '$oresult2', '$dob', '$filepath)";

Thank you.

This script of yours. Seems to have been taken from a 10 year old source. You should be able to find newer ones. BTW - sort out the indenting in your code blocks. I'd challenge anybody to read the HTML and for some reason you have js mixed up in your php

So whats d way forward...? thanks

Member Avatar for diafol

Indent your HTML properly so it's readable. Then we can have a look. Also from a cursory glance you seem to have lifted a 10 year old script full of old code. Just sayin.

<table border="1px" width="100%">
       <tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#E8E8E8"><b>Supporting documents upload</b></td></tr>

        <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="pri" required ></td></tr>
        <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="oresult" required ></td></tr>
        <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="oresult2" required ></td></tr>       
        <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="dob" required ></td></tr>

<table border="1px" width="100%">
       <tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#E8E8E8"><b>Upload Passport Photograph</b></td></tr>

        <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="3"><input style="height:35px;" type="file" name="photo" required ></td></tr>

      <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="3"><div class="subm" ><input style="font-size:18px; height:45px; font-weight:bold; color:#0033FF" type="submit" style="height:50px" name="submit1" value="Save / Submit Form" ></div></td></tr>
       </table>
       </form>

i have done that.

Not sure, Here's my version:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3">Supporting documents upload</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td colspan="3"><input type="file" name="pri" required ></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td colspan="3"><input type="file" name="oresult" required ></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td colspan="3"><input type="file" name="oresult2" required ></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td colspan="3"><input type="file" name="dob" required ></td>
  </tr>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3">Upload Passport Photograph</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td colspan="3"><input type="file" name="photo" required ></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td colspan="3">
        <div class="subm" ><input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Save / Submit Form" ></div>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  </form>

Having taken out all the in-line styling (to be placed in a CSS file). Not usre I understand the nested table or the closing form tag. The nested table isn't set within its own row - so looks wrong.

Try saving the following as test.php and give it a try:

<?php
if( array_key_exists('Submit',$_POST) )
{
    if(!empty($_FILES))
    {
        // these are your "settings"
        $myFiles=Array(  'pri'      => Array('required'=>true, 'destination'=>'/path/to/save/directory/', 'allowed'=>'pdf;doc;docx', 'label'=>'Pri') 
                        ,'oresult'  => Array('required'=>true, 'destination'=>'/path/to/save/directory/', 'allowed'=>'pdf;doc;docx', 'label'=>'OResult')
                        ,'oresult2' => Array('required'=>true, 'destination'=>'/path/to/save/directory/', 'allowed'=>'pdf;doc;docx', 'label'=>'OResult2')
                        ,'dob'      => Array('required'=>true, 'destination'=>'/path/to/save/directory/', 'allowed'=>'pdf;doc;docx', 'label'=>'DOB')
                        ,'photo'    => Array('required'=>true, 'destination'=>'/path/to/save/directory/', 'allowed'=>'png;jpg;jpeg;gif', 'label'=>'Photo')
                        );

Thank you all.. but i got error on line 44 and there by resulting to Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF) in C:\xampp\htdocs\rug\reg.php on line 44 @ hielo

@ diafol what about the the script that handles the upload?

Member Avatar for diafol

Sorry sadiq - I don't even know where to start. I'd have to write a script from scratch.
Issues:

GMQ / addslashes - no need with prepared statements
mysql_* functions - deprecated - use PDO/mysqli
Variable assignment from $_FILES items without checking if they exist
Checking name exists - never return '*' - and maybe try COUNT or at least use LIMIT 1 in sql.
You allow the overwriting of a file, but then give the message that the number has been taken - makes no sense.

Anyhow, hope those pointers will help.

but i got error on line 44

On my post above, there is a missing semicolon at the end of line 46:

 ...
 $prop['destination'] = array_key_exists('destination', $prop) ? $prop['destination'] : getcwd().'/uploads';

  // add semicolon at the end of the following line
 $prop['destination'] = rtrim($prop['destination']," \t\n\r\0\x0B\/.");

 if( !is_dir($prop['destination']) )
 ...

Good day @ hielo, Thanks alot... but the files are not moving to its destination folders...After clicking save form, it loads and brings me back to the form with empty inputs..Thanks

...but the files are not moving to its destination folders...

Check your server's error log to see if it gives you a clue as to why it may not be working (ex: permission problem)

After clicking save form, it loads and brings me back to the form with empty inputs...

That was intentional. I don't know what you were expecting, but you can easily add:

elseif( !empty($_FILES)  )
{
    echo '<h1>Thank You</h1>';
}

after line 105.

Thank you...but my server is not saying anything on d error log file...and still its not moving.

It worked fine for me. Did you copy and paste the code above or did you integrate it onto some existing codebase?

I updated the code with the one below so that it will not allow overwriting of existing files. Do a copy-paste onto a new file and try it. If it works, then integrate whatever other code you need onto it.

On submit button on your first form has name="submit1", so you need to update line 78 to test for 'submit1' instead of 'Submit'. Also, on lines 83-87 you need to update'destination'=>'/path/to/save/directory/' with the actual location of the directory where the files are to be saved.

Line 78 is wrong -- it should be lowercase "s". To clarify, your initial form has

<input style="font-size:18px; height:45px; font-weight:bold; color:#0033FF" type="submit" style="height:50px" name="submit1" value="Save / Submit Form" >

Notice that the value of the name attribute is "submit1" (again, lowercase "s").

Good day, I have done that and is still not posting..I guess its the file upload scripts that is causing it...

Your code above begins with:

<?php
require 'database.php';
$code_id = $_SESSION['SESS_CODE_NAME'];

Are you calling session_start(); at the beginning of database.php? If not, then $code_id will not have the value you expect.

Also on line 178 I see:

$q = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM studentreg WHERE jamb='$jamb'");

but I don't see $jamb being initialized anywhere. If undertand you correctly, you have a file with a form that submits the script above. If that is the case, you need to initialize $jamb on the script above.

I suggest you start adding debugging statements to help you track the bug in the script. For example, lines 77-82 above could be changed to:

$errors=Array();

echo '<pre>' . __FILE__ . '[' . __LINE__. '] $_SESSION=' . print_r($_SESSION,true) . '</pre>';

echo '<pre>' . __FILE__ . '[' . __LINE__. '] $_POST=' . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>';

echo '<pre>' . __FILE__ . '[' . __LINE__. '] $_FILES=' . print_r($_FILES,true) . '</pre>';

if( array_key_exists('submit1',$_POST) )
{
    echo 'Executing line ' . __LINE__ .'<br/>';
    if(!empty($_FILES))
    {
         echo 'Executing line ' . __LINE__ .'<br/>';

        // these are your "settings"           
        $errors=Array();

        if( array_key_exists('submit1',$_POST) )

That way when you submit the first form/page to the script above, you should be able to see which lines are being executed in addition to the critical data from the various arrays and see if they are missing. From there you should be able to track down the reason why they are missing.

I tried the solution above, but i still got the samething..The breakdown is The first file which is /register.php sends information to regconfirm.php with the users information that has been entered, for correction and under the regconfirm.php page, the photo and file upload will come up, then after that, it will connect to register.php where we have the script i posted above, then if sucessful, It will proceed to student_form.php which in turn picks the stored form from the db and displays it to the student for print out...
