Multiple file upload and download with php mysql

If everything goes well, your file will be uploaded to the uploads folder in your project and a new record will be created in the files table in the database containing the filename, size, and downloads count. Now our file has been uploaded. You can check your uploads folder and database table to confirm that it was successful.

Let's display it so that the user can view it and click on it to download it. First, we need to fetch the file info from the database. Open filesLogic. Now create a file called downloads. Now on this page, the files information from the database are listed each along with its size in KB and number of downloads. There is also a download button against each file.

What remains now is the code that actually downloads the file from our uploads folder. Let's write the code right away.

So when you click on the download link of a file, that file's id is sent to the filesLogic. Then we proceed to set some headers and finally respond with the file to the user using the readFile function in PHP.

After the file is downloaded, we update the downloads count for that particular file in the database. In this tutorial we use a MySQL table with 4 rows. File uploaded will be allocated space in the temporary location as mentioned in the php. It is necessary to move the file from the temporary location to another in order to use it again. So it recommended to verify for existence of directory. You can get the file renamed or rename all the files uploaded with a series number which can prevent this problem completely.

The complete code for the project. That's great! Thanks for reading. I have created a database codingstatus and connect to PHP using the following query. I have also created a table files. You can create it according to your project requirement. Now, you will write the code from the next step no 3 to 6 in upload-script. Check the input values are set or not on submitting the form.

It will accept the Table name in which the filename will be stored. When multiple files will be uploaded successfully,. This function will store multiple files name with extensions in the database table. I hope you like this tutorial. Even it is useful for you.
