Turning this upload script from "1 file upload capable" to "multi-file upload capable"
Hi everyone hope you are all well.
Guys I have the following php script, that currently is only 1-file-upload capable.
Id like to modify it so that it is mulit-file upload capable....let's say 5 at a time.
I have included the script in the code snippet.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Yes, you could put the current code into a foreach loop and step through each $_POST variable to get the names of the form fields, but you would then need to call your file input boxes something unique/easy to check for, since $_POST will contain all form elements.
So, you could do something like this maybe:
So, you could do something like this maybe:
foreach($_POST as $key=>$val) {
if (($val == "userfile1")||($val=="userfile2")||($val=="userfile3")||($val=="userfile4")||($val=="userfile5")){
$filename = $_FILES[$val]['name'];
$ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1);
if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))
die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.');
if(filesize($_FILES[$val]['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)

Thanks for that.
Is there any way instead of duplicating the code, to loop through files for multiple input boxes?
