Phpmailer: multiple dynamic attachments in one form

Question

I am creating a mailing-list service. I need to attach dynamically one or more files into an email, using php, phpmailer and only one "slot" for adding files in the html form. I just know how to send one attachment, not two or more, in the same email.

here u are the html code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
    <body>
        <div class="main_container">

            <form action="phpmailer/sendmail.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="prenota">

                    <div class="form_title">
                        <h2>Mailing List</h2>
                    </div>

                    <div class="form_title">
                        <p>Message:</p>
                    </div>

                    <label for="message">
                        <textarea name="message"></textarea>
                    </label>

                    <label for="file">
                        Select one or more file to send
                        <input name="file" type="file" id="file_ok">
                    </label>

                    <div class="submit-container">
                        <input class="submit-button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Invia"><br>
                    </div>

                </form>

        </div>
    </body>
</html>

and the php for the phpmailer (sendmail.php, it works with the hosting service I am usign):

<?php 
require_once('libs/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');


$db= new PDO('mysql:host=00.000.000.000;dbname=dbname_1', 'dbname', 'dbpass');//connection setup

$m_list = $db->query("
    SELECT id, nome, email
    FROM mailing_list
")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);


$mail             = new PHPMailer(true);

$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';


//variables
$email_receiver =  $m_list['email'];  
$name_receiver = $m_list['nome'];

$nome_sender= "mr x"; 
$messagge= stripslashes($_POST['message']);

foreach ($m_list as $eachmail) {

    $email_receiver =  $eachmail['email'];  
    $name_receiver = $eachmail['nome'];

    $mail->From = "service@email.it";   

    $mail->FromName = "service";            

    $mail->AddReplyTo($email_receiver, $name_receiver);

    $mail->MsgHTML($body);

    $mail->AddAddress($email_receiver, "dynamic name");  

    $mail->Subject    = "Message from website";   

    $body             = '<strong>email send to:</strong> ' . $name_receiver . '<br/>
                    <strong>email:</strong> ' . $email_receiver . '<br/>
                    <strong>message:</strong> ' . stripslashes($message) . '<br/><br/>';

    $mail->MsgHTML($body);
    $mail->Send(true);
    $mail->ClearAllRecipients(true);

}

echo "mail sent";

?>

I imagine I need to store the files ito an array and then, for each files, create the relative attachment. Unfortunately I can't. Any help?

First of all I used an "injection" of Jquery, in order to add as much as inputs file I want in the dom of the main form, and to delete them if desired.

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $( '#add_more' ).click(function() {
        var current_count = $('input[type="file"]').length;
        var next_count = current_count +1;
        $('#prenota').prepend('<p id="here_' + next_count + '"><input type="file" name="file_' + next_count + '" /></p>')
        $('#here_' + next_count + '').append('<a class="delete_this" href="#">delete</a>');
    });


    $('.delete_this').live('click', function(){
        var current_todelete = $(this).closest("p").attr("id"); 
        $('#' + current_todelete + '').remove();
    });
});

Then I added some strings in the php file designated to collect post information and sendig emails, making it capable to carry attachments (as Synchro suggested me):

if (isset($_FILES)){
    foreach ($_FILES as $file) {

        $filename = $file['name'];
        $filetype = $file['type'];
        $filetmp_name = $file['tmp_name'];
        $filesize = $file['size'];

        if($filename){
            $temPath = '../../../../../public/' . basename($filename);

            //var_dump($temPath);
            //die();

            if (move_uploaded_file($filetmp_name, $temPath)) {
                $mail->AddAttachment($temPath, $filename);
            }
        }       
    }
}else{
    $mail->AddAttachment(false);
}

Hoping to be helpful to people with the same problem of mine.
