Error in image uploading and renaming in php

Solution:

When you are uploading the images the last image will be uploaded only the reason being you are not handling it correctly. Tryprint_r($_FILES) before this to see the actual structure.

1. You need to use

   <input type="file" name="image[]" />

2. The sample structure you should have:

Array (

[image] => Array
    (

        [name] => Array
            (

                [0] => architectural-245a.jpg

                [1] => BeaverMeadow_EN-US12190942812_1920x1200.jpg

                [2] => cool-chelsea-wallpaper-25403-26085-hd-wallpapers.jpg
            )

        [type] => Array
            (
                [0] => image/jpeg
                [1] => image/jpeg
                [2] => image/jpeg
            )

        [tmp_name] => Array
            (
                [0] => D:\xampp\tmp\phpE4FF.tmp
                [1] => D:\xampp\tmp\phpE52F.tmp
                [2] => D:\xampp\tmp\phpE54F.tmp
            )

        [error] => Array
            (
                [0] => 0
                [1] => 0
                [2] => 0
            )

        [size] => Array
            (
                [0] => 689711
                [1] => 642453
                [2] => 396336
            )

    )

)

Then you can handle it suitably.

Solution:

Try this code:

First problem is with name of theinput(type= file) field you have taken for uploading file. your form is actually uploading only one file which was selected in the end. That is why you are facing that problem.

So solve this rename it asimage[]

  <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
    <input type="file" name="image[]" multiple> <!-- As you are uploading multiple file so u have to define name as array like =image[] -->
     <input type="submit" value="Add Product" name="submit" >
   </form> 

  <?php

  if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $image = $_FILES['image'];
    $image = reArrayFiles($image); /* use this function to create a proper $_FILES['image'] array format*/
     $i = 1 ;
     foreach ($image as $new_image)
      {
        print_r($new_image);
        echo '<br>';
        $dir_path_up = "upload";
        $target_file = $dir_path_up . basename($new_image['name']);
        $new_name= $dir_path_up .$i.".jpg"; /*if you use .jpg here then all the files will be converted into .jpg even if user uploads a txt file or other*/
        move_uploaded_file($new_image["tmp_name"], $new_name);
        $i++;
      }
  }

  function reArrayFiles(&$file_post) {

    $file_ary = array();
    $file_count = count($file_post['name']);
    $file_keys = array_keys($file_post);

    for ($i=0; $i<$file_count; $i++) {
      foreach ($file_keys as $key) {
        $file_ary[$i][$key] = $file_post[$key][$i];
      }
    }

    return $file_ary;
  }
  ?>
