How to upload multiple files using PHP, jQuery and AJAX
Finally I have found the solution by using the following code:
$('body').on('click', '#upload', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var formData = new FormData($(this).parents('form')[0]);
$.ajax({
url: 'upload.php',
type: 'POST',
xhr: function() {
var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
return myXhr;
},
success: function (data) {
alert("Data Uploaded: "+data);
},
data: formData,
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false
});
return false;
});
HTML
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="post">
<input name="file[]" type="file" />
<button class="add_more">Add More Files</button>
<input type="button" value="Upload File" id="upload"/>
</form>
Javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.add_more').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(this).before("<input name='file[]' type='file'/>");
});
});
for ajax upload
$('#upload').click(function() {
var filedata = document.getElementsByName("file"),
formdata = false;
if (window.FormData) {
formdata = new FormData();
}
var i = 0, len = filedata.files.length, img, reader, file;
for (; i < len; i++) {
file = filedata.files[i];
if (window.FileReader) {
reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function(e) {
showUploadedItem(e.target.result, file.fileName);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
if (formdata) {
formdata.append("file", file);
}
}
if (formdata) {
$.ajax({
url: "/path to upload/",
type: "POST",
data: formdata,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function(res) {
},
error: function(res) {
}
});
}
});
PHP
for($i=0; $i<count($_FILES['file']['name']); $i++){
$target_path = "uploads/";
$ext = explode('.', basename( $_FILES['file']['name'][$i]));
$target_path = $target_path . md5(uniqid()) . "." . $ext[count($ext)-1];
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i], $target_path)) {
echo "The file has been uploaded successfully <br />";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again! <br />";
}
}
/**
Edit: $target_path variable need to be reinitialized and should
be inside for loop to avoid appending previous file name to new one.
*/
Please use the script above script for ajax upload. It will work
