Upload Multiple Images With Image Preview Using jQuery,Ajax And PHP

Posted 8 years ago By Ajay Gupta 148431

In this tutorial, I will tell you how to upload multiple images with image preview without refreshing page using PHP, jQuery and Ajax.

In this example, i have used jquery with jquery form plugins, using this plugins i am uploading files on server.

In my previous post, i told you about How to upload an image from a URL in PHP.

You will fine very short easy and useful script here to upload multiple images with preview.

We will show you images in two way. First i will show you on changed event using jquery without uploading files on server and second i will show you images after upload.

Create a HTML File

In this step, i will create a html file first with name multiupload.html and then create a section area for form and preview images.

I have defined a JavaScript method to preview images and i have calculated the file length to know how many files are going to preview.

<script>
function preview_images() 
{
 var total_file=document.getElementById("images").files.length;
 for(var i=0;i<total_file;i++)
 {
  $('#image_preview').append("<div class='col-md-3'><img class='img-responsive' src='"+URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[i])+"'></div>");
 }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
 <form action="multiupload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <div class="col-md-6">
      <input type="file" class="form-control" id="images" name="images[]" onchange="preview_images();" multiple/>
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-6">
      <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name='submit_image' value="Upload Multiple Image"/>
  </div>
 </form>
 </div>
 <div class="row" id="image_preview"></div>
</body>
</html>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.expertphp.in/js/jquery.form.js"></script>
<script>
function preview_images() 
{
 var total_file=document.getElementById("images").files.length;
 for(var i=0;i<total_file;i++)
 {
  $('#image_preview').append("<div class='col-md-3'><img class='img-responsive' src='"+URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[i])+"'></div>");
 }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
 <form action="multiupload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <div class="col-md-6">
  	<input type="file" class="form-control" id="images" name="images[]" onchange="preview_images();" multiple/>
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-6">
  	<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name='submit_image' value="Upload Multiple Image"/>
  </div>
 </form>
 </div>
 <div class="row" id="image_preview"></div>
</body>
</html>

Create a PHP File

In this step, we will create a PHP file multiupload.php file that contains simple PHP codes to uploading and listng images view.

Before going to move file, create a directory 'images' with write permission so that you can upload files within this directory.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit_image']))
{
    $images_array=array();
     foreach($_FILES['images']['name'] as $key=>$val){
    
     $uploadfile=$_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"][$key];
     $folder="images/";
     $target_file = $folder.$_FILES['images']['name'][$key];
     if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"][$key], "$folder".$_FILES["images"]["name"][$key])){
         $images_array[] = $target_file;
     }
    }
}
if(!empty($images_array)){ 
    foreach($images_array as $src){ ?>
        <ul>
            <li >
                <img src="<?php echo $src; ?>">
            </li>
        </ul>
<?php }
}
?>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit_image']))
{
	$images_array=array();
 	foreach($_FILES['images']['name'] as $key=>$val){
	
	 $uploadfile=$_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"][$key];
	 $folder="images/";
	 $target_file = $folder.$_FILES['images']['name'][$key];
	 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"][$key], "$folder".$_FILES["images"]["name"][$key])){
	 	$images_array[] = $target_file;
	 }
	}
}
if(!empty($images_array)){ 
    foreach($images_array as $src){ ?>
        <ul>
            <li >
                <img src="<?php echo $src; ?>">
            </li>
        </ul>
<?php }
}
?>
