Hi, i’m a newbie so any help and patience appreciated. I have a form with fields. Depending on the value in the fields the user will need to upload either one or two CSV files. The problem I have is that i can’t upload more than one file on a form cos it doesn’t work. and I need to submit the data from the form as well. so can I have a main form with two sub forms to achieve this, and if so How do I do that ?

Where’s your non-working code? I suspect you need to make your file field element capable of sending an array of data, rather than a single element. Try naming it file[] or such. – Greg D.
