    Input tag has many type for the values.

    for e.g input type "button" defines the input like button.

    In the same way input type "file" defines a box to upload a file to drive.

    <input type="file" name="upload">

    The above code will display a browse button by which user can select a file to upload.
    After selecting the file, the file name will appear near the browse button.
    But in this we can only select 1 file to upload.


    Now the question arises that can we upload multiple files to the drive.

    Below is the code to select multiple files to upload:-

    <input type="file" id="file" multiple/>

    When multiple is specified in the input, it means user can upload more than one file.

     

    Below is the code to save the uploaded file in a particular folder:-

    <html>
        <head>
            <title>Multiple Upload</title>
        </head>
        <body>
    
            <!-- the enctype value multipart/form-data is used when uploading file -->
            <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
                <input type="file" name="my_file[]" multiple> 
                <input type="submit" value="Upload">
            </form>
            <?php
            // it will check if the file is selected and count the number of files
                if (isset($_FILES['my_file'])) {
                    $myFile = $_FILES['my_file'];
                    $fileCount = count($myFile["name"]);
    
                     // this loop will run equal to the file count and save the uploaded file in uploads folder
    
                     for ($i = 0; $i < $fileCount; $i++) {
                         if (move_uploaded_file($myFile["tmp_name"][$i] , 'uploads/'.time().$myFile["name"][$i])) {
                       echo "The file ". basename($myFile["name"][$i] ). " has been uploaded.<BR/>";
                      }?>
                       
                        <?php
                    }
                }
            ?>
        </body>
    </html>
    

     

    After running this code, below screen will be open:-

     

     

    After clicking on the browse button,this window will be opened:-

     

    We can selected multiple files from the folder.

     

    After clicking on the upload button a message will be displayed with file name.

     

     

    And if we check the "uploads" folder, the selected files will saved there.
