phpFormGenerator / Discussion / Help: multiple file uploads

Peter Heath - 2008-05-25

Great program!
I am using version 2.09c
Everything works fine except the users of the form can only upload a single file when using the form. That is when the file dialogue/ search box comes up you can only select one file.
How do I change this? Any help is greatly appreciated. I can donate $20 if this saves me headaches.
Thank you
Pete
I will do it if you can sort this easily.

Code is

  There are no standard file upload features that allow you to select multiple files. The easiest thing is to have a separate field for each file to be uploaded. If you are still interested in a single field then check out the link below. It's non-standard but does do a pretty good jod at achieving the effect.

  Hi
  I went to that link and thought I had it but I really have no idea about writing code!!!!
  
  To place 6 upload boxes on the form for pictures and have them process, what do I do?
  I tried to do it but just made a mess :-)
  
  Thanks Pete and I will donate when this is sorted.
  Below is a copy of the code of the form page , where I want to put the extra boxes is at the bottom and separated so you can find it easily.
  Thanks again
  Pete
