Can you try to explain better what you want? because I can't understand most of what you say, like "apply loop" or the error "you already applied" — Borgtex

If you add the multiple attribute to your <input> tag in html, your files will be available in PHP as an array, under $_FILES["file_tmp"].

HTML

<input type="file" accept="image/*" name="file_tmp[]" multiple>

PHP

for($i = 0; $i < count($_FILES["file_tmp"]["name"]); $i++){
    //your upload code

    //You can access your file as following:
    $filename = $_FILES["file_tmp"]['tmp_name'][$i];
}

In the future, please do not post your entire code, but only the relevant snippet(s). Noone wants to read through all of that code just to find your issue.

How did it not work? Did it give any error? Please try yourself what causes it to not work. Also, why did you re-add the entire block of code? You will not get a lot of people to help you because noone wants to read through 1000 lines of code to find the 1 important line of code. Furthermore, don't add tags that are irrelevant to the question.

i updated my code plz see my code i include your code in my code but no file uploading

Praxis Ashelin Over a year ago

@Arif Can you remove all of the irrelevant code? I don't want to waste 15 minutes trying to find what you changed.

Praxis Ashelin Over a year ago

@Arif And do you get any error? How exactly is it "not working"?

rlemon Over a year ago

If the answer was nice enough to accept, maybe it is nice enough for you to also upvote it @MuhammadArif

A slight changes in above mentioned code..

for($i = 0; $i < count($_FILES["file_tmp"]["name"]); $i++){     
   $filename[] = $_FILES["file_tmp"]['tmp_name'][$i];
}
