General PHP Help

Hi,

I have just created a contact form with a file attachment field. How can I make this form with multiple file attachment?
Here is my PHP code along with the html form, all in 1 file.
[php]

function print_form(){
?>

Thank you for any help.

Using more <input type=‘file’.

Is this your question ?

#3

yes it is my question. Would the php code stay the same even if I add more attachments?
Thanks

#4

With the same syntax

$_FILES[‘attachment’] contains array of file ‘atachment’
$_FILES[‘attachment1’] contains array of file ‘atachment1’
$_FILES[‘attachment2’] contains array of file ‘atachment2’,
…

It’s same of multiple var in post form…

$_POST[X] contains X
$_POST[‘Y’] contains Y

You will do that you want with this
