Unlimited multiple upload script

OK so as a thank you for all the help i get from you guys I thought id share my most recent jigsaw puzzle which fitted perfectly into my future script library.

Its an unlimited upload script, you decide how many images you want to upload, and a while loop draws the file boxes, then you fill the boxes the usual way and then the $_post and mysql is in a while loop to collect and insert the images into a db, images are also stored into the correct folders on the server.

Im sure this can be done other ways but i spent ages making something too complicated until realising that a simple solution usually works best ;)

so here we go,

page one :

<?
//start here
$client = $_POST['client'];

$amount = $_POST['amount'];

if ($amount == "Enter amount here"){
$amount = 0;
}

$num = $amount;

then in the body

<p align="center"><br />
UPTO 180,000 images in one click </p>
<form action="" method="post" name="form1" target="_self" class="normal_text" id="form1">
How many images would you like to upload?<br />
<br />
<input name="amount" type="text" class="boxes" id="amount" value="Enter amount here" onfocus="this.value=''" />
 
<input name="Submit" type="submit" class="boxes" value="Submit" />
<input name="client" type="hidden" id="client" value="<? echo "$client"?>" />
</form>

<form action="members_client_pic_upload_do.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form2" id="form2">
<br />
<span class="normal_text">This is where you choose your files to upload, the submit button is at the end of the list.</span><br />
<br />
<table width="560" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="195" class="style3">Small image </td>
<td width="162" class="style3">Large image </td>
<td width="117" class="style3">Image type </td>
<td width="76" class="style3"><div align="center">Include Pic </div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?
$i = 0;
while ($i<$num){
?>
<table width="560" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="175"><input name="image_small_<? echo "$i"?>" type="file" class="boxes" id="image_small_<? echo "$i"?>" size="10" /></td>
<td width="171"><input name="image_big_<? echo "$i"?>" type="file" class="boxes" id="image_big_<? echo "$i"?>" size="10" /></td>

<span class="question" title="Click this box to include this image, this prevents blank images being uploaded.">[?]</span></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
<?
++$i;
}

}
?>
<input name="Submit2" type="submit" class="boxes" value="Upload all" />
<input name="client" type="hidden" id="client" value="<? echo "$client"?>" />
<input name="amount" type="hidden" id="amount" value="<? echo "$amount"?>" />
</p>
</form>

// FOLLOWED by page two

//start here
$clientid = $_POST["client"];
$amount = $_POST["amount"];

//debugging
//echo "$clientid - $amount<p>";

$x = 0;
while ($x<$amount){

//-files1----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image_small_$x"]['tmp_name'],'images/members/'.$username.'/'.$clientid.'/thumb/'.$_FILES["image_small_$x"]['name']);

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$image_title = $image_thumb;

$cat = $_POST["cat_$x"];
$include = $_POST["include_$x"];

if ($include = ""){
break;
}
//debugging
//echo "$image_title - $image_thumb - $image_big - $image_super - $gallery - $active<br>";
$sql = "INSERT into photo_members_cpics (id, member, client, image_title, image_small, image_big, protecting, password, price, price2, price3, print_size, print_size2, print_size3, framed_cost, category) VALUES ('', '$username', '$clientid', '$image_title', 'images/members/$username/$clientid/thumb/$image_thumb', 'images/members/$username/$clientid/thumb/$image_thumb', '$protecting', '$password', '$price', '$price2', '$price3', '$print_size', '$print_size2', '$print_size3', '$framed_cost', '$cat' )";
$rs = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());

++$x;
}

I took ut a few of the $_post gatherings cos you dint need to see them,

hope this helps someone else out, just copy and paste and it will make sense in dreamweaver
