thanks to all who replied!
using sizeof($_FILES['username']['name']) yields an array of over 10
elements regardless of the number of files selected for upload. and i tried
using something like
"while....list($key,$var)=each($_FILES['username']['name'][$i])...", but i
couldn't get that to work either (not sure i fully understood it...).
what does work is this:
FOR ($i=0; $i<20; $i++) {
IF ($_FILES['username']['name'][$i]==""){
break;
}
}
it somehow doesn't seem very clean, but its working. :)
thanks again!
