Uploading multiple files whose INPUT field have the same name

I have a form where the user is able to provide an arbitrary number of
attachments. This is done through Javascript that dynamically generates
INPUT fields, each of which has the NAME attribute set to the same
value.

Now on the server side processing of this form, how do I handle these
posted files, each of which has the same name? I was expecting the
Request.Files collection to behave similarly to the Request.Form
collection, in that if there are multiple files that have the same name
(say, "MyUploadedFile "), then Request.Files(" MyUploadedFile" ) would,
itself, return an array of files.

But it doesn't appear to work that way. Is it possible to process this
form properly?

I also had the idea of looping through the Request.Files collection,
then checking if the INPUT name of the file is "MyUploadedFile ", and
going from there. (I need to check the input name, since there are
other files uploaded elsewhere on the form with different names) But I
don't see how to access the INPUT name of a particular posted file...
is there a way to do that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Good afternoon. The entire task that I'm trying to achieve is to allow a user to browse and upload multiple files simultaneously, hiding the Browse button of <input> tags of type="file" and replacing it with a button of my own background color and text. The file paths I'd like displayed in a textarea and then the files uploaded at once.

I have created an IHttpHandler that waits for uploads as attachments for a webmail interface, and saves it to a directory that is defined in config.xml.

They arent uploaded (written) tradionally to a server, I just need the file's input stream to pass to a method elsewhere (which will upload to a database). The page has a file-input type to locate files to upload. Once a file is selected (onChange()),...

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
