<form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="500000">

<input type="hidden" name="sendfiles" value="Send Files" />
</form>
    
    <?php
define ("MAX_SIZE","5000"); 
function getExtension($str)
{
         $i = strrpos($str,".");
         if (!$i) { return ""; }
         $l = strlen($str) - $i;
         $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
         return $ext;
}

$errors=0;
         
if(isset($_POST['sendfiles'])) 
{
    
    

    $uploaddir = "images/"; //a directory inside
    foreach ($_FILES['photos']['name'] as $name => $value)
    {
        $filename = stripslashes($_FILES['photos']['name'][$name]);
     //get the extension of the file in a lower case format
          $extension = getExtension($filename);
         $extension = strtolower($extension);
        echo "\n This is the extension: ",$extension;
         if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif")) 
         {
        //print error message
             echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
             $errors=1;
         }
        else
        {
            $size=filesize($_FILES['photos']['tmp_name'][$name]);
            if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
            {
                echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
                $errors=1;
            }
            $image_name=time().'.'.$extension;
            $newname="images/".$image_name;
            $copied = copy($_FILES['photos']['tmp_name'][$name], $newname);
            if (!$copied) 
            {
                echo '<h1>Copy unsuccessfull!</h1>';
                $errors=1;
            }
        
        }

    }
}

Thanks for your code, but i could not upload more than 1 image at a time, I need to upload multiple images at-once

That code was directly taken from a page of mine that can upload multiple files at a time. Make sure you use the form at the top too.

[nithi_30]

yes i have used the form at the top, but only 1 file can be uploaded with the same image type

Yes I just noticed that for some reason this only works in firefox and chrome. Tell me if you ever find out a working version for IE.

In IE i couldn't browse more than 1 images file, in chrome and firefox i can select multiple files but i can't upload more than 1 image at a time,
