For multiple file uploads you can now do make the userfile part an array. ie. <INPUT NAME="ufile[0]" TYPE="file"> <INPUT NAME="ufile[1]" TYPE="file"> Or even <INPUT NAME="ufile[]" TYPE="file"> <INPUT NAME="ufile[]" TYPE="file"> This would set the following: HTTP_POST_FILES['name'][0] HTTP_POST_FILES['name'][1] HTTP_POST_FILES['type'][0] HTTP_POST_FILES['type'][1] HTTP_POST_FILES['tmp_name'][0] HTTP_POST_FILES['tmp_name'][1] HTTP_POST_FILES['size'][0] HTTP_POST_FILES['size'][1] $ufile['name'][0] $ufile['name'][1] $ufile['type'][0] $ufile['type'][1] $ufile['tmp_name'][0] $ufile['tmp_name'][1] $ufile['size'][0] $ufile['size'][1] $ufile_name[0] $ufile_name[1] $ufile_type[0] $ufile_type[1] $ufile[0] /* holds the tmp_name */ $ufile[1] $ufile_size[0] $ufile_size[1] Probably overkill, but it should do everything everybody ever needs to do and is pretty much backward compatible with the PHP 3 way of doing things. Might be a good idea for one of the documentation guys to add this to the docs. Note that it is only effective as of PHP 4.0.1. -Rasmus
