Re: I want to upload multiple images to a sever using php/mysql

Use a file area like this

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

 <input type="file" name="upload[]" >

then in you php script

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
foreach($_FILES['upload'] AS $file)
{
//HERE YOU DO YOUR FILE SAVING
//For the file array
}
foreach($_FILES['upload'] AS $file)
{
//HERE YOU DO YOUR FILE SAVING
//For the file array
}

Re: I want to upload multiple images to a sever using php/mysql

Looping is the way to go as Menster has just shown you here. in your html add as many file input fields as you want but name them all as upload[] so that PHP will take the name upload as an array when it is posted.
You can then loop through the array as you do your saving. I'm just explaining Menster's code

/*Happy coding*/

Re: I want to upload multiple images to a sever using php/mysql

Here is an upload example I created a day or two ago. It needs to be modified a bit, but you get the basic idea.

Its pretty secure, making it so people can't upload scripts to the server and run them.
