Hey. I’m not having any luck using this code. I’m constantly getting the ‘uploads’ index php error mentioned earlier in the comments. I tried looking at the source code of the example, but it’s different than what you posted here. It doesn’t call for a php script, the javascript is longer, there is an input, but no form and no submit button. Could you post a working example in a zipped archive?

Regarding $_FILES['uploads']

The author, perhaps, missed out on the fact that PHP does quite a different structure for $_FILES when the above method is used.

To access the data from these multiple files, you should do this:

$_FILES['input_name_in_form']['name'][0] – gets you the original file name of the first image in the list while $_FILES['input_name_in_form']['name'][1] – gets you the name of the second file
etc.
you can see the whole contents of the $_FILES using print_r($_FILES)

I think what I will do is write a custom function which just processes the $_FILES and returns an array of easily processable files.

So, I have a problem. Whenever I try to upload a bunch of pictures, only the first two gets uploaded.

Can anyone tell me why that might be? The images are only like 60 KB each, and there’s less than 15 of them. I would be extremely pleased if anyone had the slightest idea about what my problem might be.

Has anyone found code that will correctly detect the browsers that support this feature?

You’ll have to exclude older versions of Firefox and safari, but I’m not clear on exactly which versions to detect, and I’m not keen on testing tons of different versions to figure this out.

Mike — have you received any assistance on this issue? I’m having the same issue although I don’t get the undefined index msg but am getting a count=0 in the file count parameter within php.
