uploadify not uploading images using php

Question

I want to use uploadify to upload my multiple images.

What is scenario

I want to upload multiple images. I also want to enter the information of each uploaded image in database as well. As at `oncomplete event I want to get the ids of all newly entered ids of table

What I have done my uploadify code

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#fileid').uploadify({ 
    'uploader'  : '<?php echo SITEURL;?>/admin/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
    'script'    : '<?php echo SITEURL;?>/admin/action_files/area_pics_upload.php',
    'cancelImg' : '<?php echo SITEURL;?>/admin/uploadify/cancel.png',
    //'folder'    : '<?php echo SITEURL;?>/admin/uploadify/uploads',
    'auto': 'true',
    'fileExt'   : '*.jpeg;*.jpg;*.gif;*.png',
    'fileDesc'  : 'Image Files (*.JPEG,*.JPG, *.GIF, *.PNG)',
    'multi'     : true,
    'onAllComplete': function(event, data)
     {  alert(data); }


 });

});

Code in area_upload_pics.php

if (!empty($_FILES))
{
$allowedExtensions = array("jpeg","jpg","gif","png"); 
for($i=0;$i<count($_FILES);$i++)
{
    if(in_array(end(explode(".",strtolower($_FILES['fileid'][$i]['name']))),$allowedExtensions))
    {
        $file = time().'-'.$_FILES["fileid"][$i]['name'];
        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileid"][$i]["tmp_name"],'../../uploaded_files/area_pics/'.$file)
        {
            //save file info in database
            $q = "INSERT INTO ".DB_PREFIX."_files (file) values (".$file.")";
            mysql_query($q);
     $images_ids[]=mysql_insert_id();
        }
    }
}
}

echo(json_encde($images_ids);

My Problem

Images are not being uploaded. I haved checked the paths that are good. What amI doing wrong.

Answer 1

I was having wrong concept about uploadify. I was thinking that it hits single time to uploading resource(file doing uploading) so we have to have $_FILES as array. But the uploadify hits the uploading script as many times as you have selected the files to upload. For example you have selected 6 files to upload. Uploadify will hit your uploading script stated in script property of uploadify 6 times. So you don't need to use for loop and iterate through $_FILES . Just use the script as you use for single file uploading.

This is for those having same problem. :-)
