I know this is a old post but some further explanation might be useful for someone trying to upload multiple files... Here is what you need to do:
Input name must be be defined as an array i.e. name="inputName[]"
Input element must have multiple="multiple" or just multiple
In your PHP file use the syntax "$_FILES['inputElemName']['param'][index]"
Make sure to look for empty file names and paths, the array might contain empty strings
here is a down and dirty example (showing just relevant code)
HTML:
<input name="upload[]" type="file" multiple="multiple" />
PHP:
//Loop through each file
for($i=0; $i<count($_FILES['upload']['name']); $i++) {
//Get the temp file path
$tmpFilePath = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$i];
//Make sure we have a filepath
if ($tmpFilePath != ""){
//Setup our new file path
$newFilePath = "./uploadFiles/" . $_FILES['upload']['name'][$i];
//Upload the file into the temp dir
if(move_uploaded_file($tmpFilePath, $newFilePath)) {
//Handle other code here
}
}
}
Hope this helps out!

Multiple files can be selected and then uploaded using the
<input type='file' name='file[]' multiple>
The sample php script that does the uploading:
<html>
<title>Upload</title>
<?php
session_start();
$target=$_POST['directory'];
if($target[strlen($target)-1]!='/')
$target=$target.'/';
$count=0;
foreach ($_FILES['file']['name'] as $filename)
{
$temp=$target;
$tmp=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$count];
$count=$count + 1;
$temp=$temp.basename($filename);
move_uploaded_file($tmp,$temp);
$temp='';
$tmp='';
}
header("location:../../views/upload.php");
?>
</html>
The selected files are received as an array with
$_FILES['file']['name'][0] storing the name of first file.
$_FILES['file']['name'][1] storing the name of second file.
and so on.
