   <h2 class="title">Uploading multiple files</h2>

   <p class="simpara">

    Multiple files can be uploaded using different

    <i>name</i> for <i>input</i>.

   </p>

   <p class="simpara">

    It is also possible to upload multiple files simultaneously and

    have the information organized automatically in arrays for you. To

    do so, you need to use the same array submission syntax in the

    HTML form as you do with multiple selects and checkboxes:

   </p>

   <p class="para">

    </p><div class="example">

     <p><b>Example #1 Uploading multiple files</b></p>

     <div class="example-contents programlisting">

<div class="htmlcode"><pre class="htmlcode">&lt;form action=&quot;file-upload.php&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;&gt;

  Send these files:&lt;br /&gt;

  &lt;input name=&quot;userfile[]&quot; type=&quot;file&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  &lt;input name=&quot;userfile[]&quot; type=&quot;file&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Send files&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;</pre>

</div>

     </div>



    </div><p>

   </p>

   <p class="simpara">

    When the above form is submitted, the arrays

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']</a></var>,

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['name']</a></var>, and

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['size']</a></var> will be

    initialized (as well as in <var class="varname">$HTTP_POST_FILES</var> for PHP versions prior

    to 4.1.0).

    When

    <a href="ini.core.php#ini.register-globals" class="link">register_globals</a> is on, globals for uploaded

    files are also initialized. Each of these will be a numerically

    indexed array of the appropriate values for the submitted files.

   </p>

   <p class="simpara">

    For instance, assume that the filenames

    <var class="filename">/home/test/review.html</var> and

    <var class="filename">/home/test/xwp.out</var> are submitted.  In this

    case, <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['name'][0]</a></var>

    would contain the value <var class="filename">review.html</var>, and

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['name'][1]</a></var> would

    contain the value <var class="filename">xwp.out</var>. Similarly,

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['size'][0]</a></var> would

    contain <var class="filename">review.html</var>&#039;s file size, and so forth.

   </p>

   <p class="simpara">

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['name'][0]</a></var>,

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][0]</a></var>,

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['size'][0]</a></var>, and

    <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.files.php" class="classname">$_FILES['userfile']['type'][0]</a></var> are

    also set.
