Download multiple files and rename - PHP

Question

I upload several files. The main function works fine, but I need to change the names of the downloaded files. For example: name1.jpg , name2.jps , name3.jpg , ...

 $i = 1; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upl']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/name'.$i++.'.'.$extension)){ echo '{"status":"success"}'; exit; } 

The number of $i should increase with the number of downloaded files. I hope this explained correctly.

As @Ghost says in his comment, you need a loop :

 if(isset($_FILES['files'])){ $name_array = $_FILES['files']['name']; $tmp_name_array = $_FILES['files']['tmp_name']; // Number of files $count_tmp_name_array = count($tmp_name_array); // We define the static final name for uploaded files (in the loop we will add an number to the end) $static_final_name = "name"; for($i = 0; $i < $count_tmp_name_array; $i++){ // Get extension of current file $extension = pathinfo($name_array[$i] , PATHINFO_EXTENSION); // Pay attention to $static_final_name if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_name_array[$i], "uploads/".$static_final_name.$i.".".$extension)){ echo $name_array[$i]." upload is complete<br>"; } else { echo "move_uploaded_file function failed for ".$name_array[$i]."<br>"; } } }
