    copied!<p>I have been trying to code a script to upload files only if all selected files match predefined type (pdf,doc or docx). For example if user select 3 files all of them need to match the criteria or none of the selected ones will be uploaded.</p> <p>here is what I have so far:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php for($i=0; $i&lt;count($_FILES['file']['name']); $i++) { $file_type = $_FILES['file']['type'][$i]; $allowedExts = array("application/pdf", "application/msword", "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"); if(in_array($file_type, $allowedExts)) { if ($_FILES["file"]["error"][$i] &gt; 0) { echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"][$i] . "&lt;br&gt;"; } else { if (file_exists("uuuuu/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"][$i])) { $file_name = $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name'][$i]; $random_digit=rand(0000,9999); $new_file_name=$random_digit.$file_name; $file_final = str_replace(' ', '_', $new_file_name); $path= "uuuuu/".$file_final; copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i], $path); $message = "success...."; } else { move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$i], "uuuuu/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"][$i]); $message = "success...."; } } } else { $message1 ="at least one of your files has the wrong extension! you can only select doc,docx or pdf"; } } ?&gt; &lt;form id="form2" name="form2" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt; &lt;input name="file[]" type="file" id="file" class="for-text-fields" multiple="multiple"/&gt; &lt;label for="textarea2"&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;textarea name="textarea2" id="textarea2" rows="10" class="for-text-f"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>I know this should not be hard to do but I can not sort it out :( I would really appriciate your help on this one.</p> <p>EDIT: I forgot to mention that there will be 4 text fields where users will type some title for each selected file, be it 1, 2,3 or four and thats why I want all of the selected ones to match the type, namely to easily write the update script... hope this makes any sense </p>
