php multiple file upload
Uploading multiple files with PHP requires checking for many possible errors. This script allows how many fields to upload and sets the maximum allowed upload file size that will be displayed in the HTML table. The php.ini file also contains an ini option called upload_max_filesize which has a default value of 2 meters, or 2 megabytes. This value also takes into account errors when checking.
These errors are information stored in an array and require information for each file upload based on any error generated or upload success. The form itself is validated, as per the W3C validator in DOCTYPE.
