Best Way to Upload Array of Files? - El Forum - 07-27-2011

I have a form that will let a user upload one or more files. The number will always be different because they will be able to add another file input by clicking on a submit button. This will add another input field called "file[]" and will output an array of files. What's the best way to upload an array of files?
PS: A feature should be added to CI that will give the ability to upload an array of files.

Isn't this a client-side question?
You can specify in html the number of files to upload using file[], so you may have:
file[]
file[]
file[]
for three file inputs.
That will be posted as 3 elements of $_POST['file'].
If you need a variable number of file inputs you'll need to have javascript add subsequent input elements on the client-side as requested.
No?
