Multi-upload in PHP

Question

I am trying to upload 2 files, the first one is a flash (.swf) file and the second a .png.

At the moment, I would have no problem making 2 different php upload file, with 2 different forms, but Im sure there can be a way to make that all together.

I am not really experimented with PHP, but Im trying to learn.

At the moment I have this:

<?php $allowed_filetypes = array('.swf','.png'); $max_filesize = 10524288; $upload_path = 'swf/'; $filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes)) die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.'); if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize) die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.'); if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['swf']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename)) echo 'Your file upload was successful, view the file <a href="' . $upload_path . $filename . '" title="Your File">here</a>'; else echo 'An unknown error occured, try again.'; ?>

Ok so this is part of the code I found online, with that Im using a simple upload form.

How could I go and put 2 forms on the same page, and the 2 forms upload separately to 2 different folders, in example .png goes to icons/ folder and .swf goes to swf/ folder?

All that with only one button, that will also post other stuff.

the userfile in $_FILES['userfile'] is set by the value of the name attribute of the <form> in your html file.

so:

<form (.....)> <input type="file" name="userfile0"/> <input type="file" name="userfile1"/> </form>

would result in

$_FILES['userfile0'] $_FILES['userfile1']

Please note:
Accepting files from the internet can be dangerous in many ways. make sure you do proper input sanitation and do not store the uploaded files in a web-accessible folder.

My html file is: <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <p> <label for="file">Select a file:</label> <input type="file" name="swf" id="file"> <br /> <label for="file">Select a file:</label> <input type="file" name="png" id="file"> <br /> <button onclick="this.disabled=true">Upload File</button> <p> </form> So where would I add the $_FILES['swf'] and $_FILES['png']? Here? if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['swf']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename)) If yea, how can I do so?
