Ok, next question: Here's my upload script: <? if ($upfile1=="none") { echo "no file selected for upload please go back and select a file."; exit; } if ($upfile1_size==0) { echo "No data was transferred, your file may be too large or may not exist"; exit; } $upfile1_name=str_replace(' ','_',$upfile1_name); if (file_exists("/var/www/html/files/$upfile1_name")) { echo "<Font color=red>file $upfile1_name already exists</font><p>Note: Your file may have been renamed if it contained spaces, this is so that links to the file will work correctly.</P><P> If you want to replace an existing file, Talk to Michael Knauf."; exit; } if (!is_uploaded_file($upfile1)) { echo "file may contain upload attack, this is not allowed"; exit; } $okfile1="/var/www/html/files/".$upfile1_name; if ( !copy($upfile1, $okfile1)) { echo "Could not move file"; exit; } echo "File uploaded successfully<BR><BR>"; $fp = fopen($okfile1, "r"); $contents = fread ($fp, filesize ($okfile1)); fclose($fp); $fp = fopen($okfile1, "w"); fwrite($fp, $contents); fclose($fp); echo "<HR>"; echo "you can link to your file at: <A HREF=http://red.niles.net/files/$upfile1_name>http://red.niles.net/files/$upfile1_name</A>"; ?> That all works fine, and accepts a file from a simple html form file element: <input type="file" name="upfile1"> So I think, my, wouldn't it be nice if they could upload 3 or 4 files at once? Problem 1, I'm not sure how to structure that, obviously a loop of some sort, but what makes me cry for help, is that I simply duplicated my html input <input type="file" name="upfile2"> and called it upfile2, and duplicated my php code and changed each second instance of upfile1 to upfile2 which worked fine, too till I trigger any of the error conditions in the first iteration... then the "exit" function happens and the second file is ignored (because i've exited out of the script, I know) the question is how I exit out of the first iteration but not the second...
