Hello forum.
i have six mediumtext fields where the user can upload files.

i want to see the total nº of files that every record have.
field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, field6, total.
if user upload one file the total field must be 1.
I am trying to do count ($_FILES) but i don't know how to do it.

you could try something along these lines

$number_of_files="0";

if($values["field1"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++

}

if($values["field2"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++

}

if($values["field3"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++

}

if($values["field4"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++

}

if($values["field5"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++

}

if($values["field1"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++

}

$values["total"]=$number_of_files;

return true;

if($values["Folha_1"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++;

}

if($values["Folha_2"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++;

}

if($values["Folha_3"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++;

}

if($values["Folha_4"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++;

}

if($values["Folha_5"]!="")

{

$number_of_files++;

}

if($values["Folha_6"]!="")
