Inserting single or pre-defined number of image(s)/file(s) or its description into MySQL database is no problem for me but undefined number of it, which will be added the input fields by users voluntarily, in single submit is difficult for me. Anyone has the solution ?

I’m not really seeing the problem: - <form action="process.php" method="post">
-
<input type="file" name="upload[]">
-
<input type="file" name="upload[]">
-
…
-
<input type="file" name="upload[]">
-
<button type="submit">upload ’em all</button>
-
</form>
- foreach ($_FILES["upload"] as $file)
-
{
-
// insert into DB
-
}
@Dormilich
First of all I thank you for your reply, Dormilich. I have tried it once before but only the last item went into the database. I think the problem is how to handle the array well in php.
I'm currently developing a website. The related page URL is http://www.ehyeh.com/validatedformtest3.html.
The following is the complete form page code : - <!DOCTYPE html>

-
<script language="javascript">

-
</script>
-
-
<script language="javascript">

var htmlText = "<input type='file' name='images' id='fields' value='' ACCEPT='filetype/*' />";

var deleteField = "<a style='cursor:pointer;color:yellow;' onclick='this.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(this.parentNode), fields -=1;'> X</a><br />"
-
var imageTitle = "Title of the photo/image if any<input type='text' name='image_title' id='fields' value='' size='35' /><br /><br />";
-
var stringConcatenated = htmlText + deleteField + imageTitle;
-
var newElement = document.createElement('div');
-
newElement.id = ''; // Give the DIV an ID, if you need to reference it later...
-
newElement.innerHTML = stringConcatenated;
-
-
var fieldsArea = document.getElementById('files_list');
-
fieldsArea.appendChild(newElement);
-
-
fields += 1;
-
} else {

alert("Only 3 upload fields allowed.");

document.form.add.disabled=true;

And the following is a screenshot of the database table. Only the last item which I input 'a' in the field of 'image_title' was inserted into the database. 
I don't think it could be the problem of that the inconsistency of the use of the array in the javascript and the php script.
