It is possible to upload multiple files simultaneously and have
the information organized automatically in arrays for you. To
do so, you need to use the same array submission syntax in the
HTML form as you do with multiple selects and checkboxes:
Note:
Support for multiple file uploads was added in version 3.0.10.
Example 18-2. Uploading multiple forms 1
2 <form action="file-upload.html" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
3 Send these files:<br>
4 <input name="userfile[]" type="file"><br>
5 <input name="userfile[]" type="file"><br>
6 <input type="submit" value="Send files">
7 </form>

When the above form is submitted, the arrays $userfile,
$userfile_name, and
$userfile_size will be formed in the global
scope (as well as in $HTTP_POST_VARS). Each of these will be a
numerically indexed array of the appropriate values for the
submitted files.
For instance, assume that the filenames
/home/test/review.html and
/home/test/xwp.out are submitted. In this
case, $userfile_name[0] would contain
the value review.html, and
$userfile_name[1] would contain the
value xwp.out. Similarly,
$userfile_size[0] would contain
review.html's filesize, and so forth.
