hi,
I am trying to learn how to upload multiple Music files to server then save information about them in database e.g. albumname, filename, type and maybe url. i have few questions:
1. would i be able to write the albumname in database as the folder i am uploading to. if so how?
2. how would i upload multiple files..
as i am a newbie can you guys please show me an example of this...
thanks
1. Yes. Since you know where you will be uploading the file, you can save the foldername as albumname
2. By using multiple <input type='file' > tag
I am not sure if the examples in these links work, but, this is how you do it.

It's not as hard as you'd think.
Say that that you're creating a Pastebin. You'd have (simplified) the fields id, title, and filename. The filename could be random. For our purposes, $input is what the user is saving in the document, $title is the title, and we'll create the filename.
<?php
$title = mysql_real_escape_string($title);
$filename = rand(1,1000) . substr(0, 5, time());
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `pastebin`(title, filename) VALUES('$title', '$filename')");
$fh = fopen($filename . ".txt", +w);
fwrite($fh, $input);
fclose($fh);
?>Of course, that's just creating it.
I got the answer to second question basically i will pass the id of textbox to insert.
but how would i actually write the url dynamically upon uploading, to database. say i am uploading into a folder called 'album1' 5 mp3s. now how would i insert in database album1/mp3.mp3, without hardcoding it like $path = "album1";

Check move_uploaded_file . You have to specify the 'destination' where you want to upload the file. Use the same destination :-/ Right ?
