[Getting Started](#getting-started)[Examples](#examples)[Explanation](#explanation)Dealing with the `$_FILES` array in PHP sucks. Most solutions only work for a specific situation and aren't easily portable. This utility is designed to organize any possible incarnation of the `$_FILES` array into the structure you would intuitively expect. Getting data about uploaded files should be just as easy as reading the `$_POST` array.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

PHP >= 7.3

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require tvanc/files-array-organizer
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### One input, one file

[](#one-input-one-file)

In a case like this, the `$_FILES` array is pretty straight forward and the organized version is identical to the unorganized version.

```

    Submit

```

### Multiple inputs that accept multiple files

[](#multiple-inputs-that-accept-multiple-files)

`FilesArrayOrganizer` makes dealing with this less-common scenario *much* easier. Check the [Explanation](#explanation) to see the surprising `$_FILES` array you can get from a form containing multiple inputs that each accept multiple files.

```
