I have a perfectly working upload form at the moment, but I am having a hard time figureing out how to add the ability to generate other fields to submit along with the upload. Has anyone ever made a file upload form that submits other information such as the authors name (i'm uploading documents). Would it be hard to have a table generate from a form like that after a file was uploaded? I'm thinking I could store both the author and file in an mysql database, but would I have to separate that from the actual upload script?

Heres what I have so far:

PHP Code:

<?php 

  $numfile = 20; 

  $servdir  = "my file dir"; 

  if ($_POST) 

 { 

    for ($i=0;$i<$numfile;$i++) 

    { 

      if (trim($_FILES['myfiles']['name'][$i])!="") 

      { 

        $newfile = $servdir.$_FILES['myfiles']['name'][$i]; 

        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfiles']['tmp_name'][$i], $newfile); 

        $x++; 

      } 

    } 

 } 

  if (isset($x)&&$x>0) print "All went well.<br>"; 

  print "<form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>"; 

  for($i=0;$i<$numfile;$i++) 

  { 

    print "<input type='file' name='myfiles[]' size='30'><br>"; 

  } 

  print "<input type='submit' name='action' value='Upload'>"; 

  print "</form>"; 

?>

Hello,

Just create additional fields in the form in the loop where you create the upload fields and name them like author[], date[] etc. You will then access them just like the $_FILES array, but using the $_POST array.
