count $_FILES upload fields

[TanTrazz]

Hi guys,

Im getting insane. I can't get it working. What i want to do is count the amount of files in the post.

I've got 8 file fields.

Pic 1: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">
Pic 2: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">
Pic 3: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">
Pic 4: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">
Pic 5: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">
Pic 6: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">
Pic 7: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">
Pic 8: <input type="file" name="item_file[]">

So if i upload 4 files, the count has to be 4. It always say i've uploaded 8 files...

var_dump(count($_FILES['item_file']['name']) != ''); //returns 8
var_dump(count($_FILES['item_file'])); //returns 8
var_dump(count($_FILES)); //returns 8

Can someone help me...

TNX TT

First,
$_FILES['item_file']['name']) != '' is a boolean, so
var_dump(count($_FILES['item_file']['name']) != '') should not return 8!

Furthermore, I think they are all submitted, but you will have to check the status code for each one. Please see the PHP manual, section "uploading files". I think it is in the "features" main section. It really tells all there is to know. If you still experience problems, check if the temp directory can be used by the web server user.

Finally, I think $_FILES['item_file']['name'] does not exist. Your array of uploads only has numerical indexes (0 to 7)

function getCount($control){
 $count = 0;
 foreach ($_FILES[$control] as $upload){
   if ($upload['error'] === 0){
     $count ++;
 }
 return $count;
}
