I'm not sure what you're asking for. Are you asking how to upload PDF files and store the file, or reference to the file in a database? If so, it's not much different than uploading any other file, of which there are numerous topics and tutorials on.

<?php

$uploads_dir = '/opt/lampp/htdocs/magazine/upload';

foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {

if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK ) {

$tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];

$name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];

move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");

}

}

?>

Notice: Undefined index: pictures in /opt/lampp/htdocs/magazine/upload.php on line 3Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/magazine/upload.php

This could be why the error?

Remember that the <form> element needs the enctype attribute to be set.

what debugging are you doing? You can look in your browsers console / networks tab to see what is in the request, including any file data. You can also var_dump $_FILES to see exactly what is coming over the wire.

 

When submitting issues that deal with both the front and back end, it is helpful, especially in this case, to post the form part of your code, as per Ingolme's post, you could have issues there as well.
