Uploading multiple image file to a database at once

[chijiokeemmamaxwell]

hi guys i have a challenge of inserting multiple image at once.
one image goes into the db from the array of images i selected .
here is my code thanks.

if (isset($_POST[‘submit’]))


{			//list out your form variables...
		$property_name=$_POST['property_name'];
		$property_location=$_POST['property_location'];
		//$property=$_FILES['property']['name'];
		$property_price=$_POST['property_price'];
		$category_id=$_POST['category_id'];
		$status=$_POST['status'];

		if (empty($property_name)){
					echo "Enter Property Location.";
				}elseif (empty($property_location)) {
					echo "Description";
					# code...
				}elseif (empty($property_price)) {
					echo "Enter Price.";
					# code...
				}
				elseif(empty($category_id)){
					echo "category_id Feild is required";
				}elseif (empty($status)){
					echo "Indicate Status of Property";
					# code...
				}else{
					//validation

       $sql="INSERT INTO `property` (property_name, property_location, property_price, category_id, status)VALUES (:property_name, :property_location, :property_price, :category_id, :status)";

      	     $params=[':property_name'=>$property_name, 
      	              ':property_location'=>$property_location,
      	              ':property_price'=>$property_price, 
					  ':category_id'=>$category_id, 
					  ':status'=>$status];

	    //var_dump($db->runQuery($sql,$params));
						$inserting=$db->runQuery($sql,$params);

						if ($inserting==1)
						{			
									
							$pro_id= $db->lastId();
							var_dump($pro_id);
                              $property_img=$_FILES['property_img']['name'];
	                          if (empty($property_img))
	               
	                          	{ echo "Enter Property Images.";}

	                          // uploading image file.
					
				   else{
				   	     $image_name='';
				$images_name=array();
				foreach($_FILES['property_img']['tmp_name'] as $i => $tmp_name ){

					 $property_img = $_FILES['property_img']['name'][$i];
                    $file_size = $_FILES['property_img']['size'][$i];
                    $file_tmp = $_FILES['property_img']['tmp_name'][$i];
				 				    
				 				    \
		        /* Less complicated and more reliable method to find the file extension!! */
                    $file_ext = strtolower( pathinfo( $property_img, PATHINFO_EXTENSION ) );
                     $ext_boleh = array( 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif', 'bmp' );
                      if( in_array( $file_ext, $ext_boleh ) ) {
			         $uploads_dir = 'uploads/';
			         $add= move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $uploads_dir. $property_img);
			             print_r($property_img);


$sql2=“INSERT INTO  `property_img`  (property_img, pro_id)VALUES (?,?)”;


					$params=[$property_img,$pro_id];

      	              $img=$db->runQuery($sql2,$params);

                  if($img!=0){
                  	echo "file uploaded successfully";

                  }
                  else {
                  	echo "Error in file Upload.";
                  }

Prepare the image insert query before the foreach, then execute it inside the foreach so it does it for all images.

[chijiokeemmamaxwell]

i did these and i have a database class for all my query.

if ($inserting==1)
					{			
						$pro_id= $db->lastId();
						var_dump($pro_id);
                                                $property_img=$_FILES['property_img']['name'];

and here is my database class.

public function runQuery($query,$params=[]){
			try{		
			$stmt=$this->datab->prepare($query);
			$x=$stmt->execute($params);
			return $x;
			var_dump($x);
			
			}catch (PDOException $e){
			throw new Exception($e->getMessage());
			}
		}

Yes you could call that method within the foreach and it would work. Those methods are handy for one-off prepared statements.
It’s just it would be more efficient to prepare once and execute multiple times.
