how to make array while looping another array in javascript

Question

for (var i = 0; i < input.files.length; ++i) {
 name = name.push(input.files[i].name)
}

I want to get the name of the files and put them in a array so I can post them to a php file to upload. Please help.

The variable name is the array I want to post.

is there a loop in javascript like foreach in php

• user1432124: so what's the problem in this?
• PeeHaa: What is the question / problem you are having?
• Tharindu Hasthika: i want to upload files using jquery and php

Answer 1

How about this:

var name = [];
for (var i = 0; i < input.files.length; ++i) {
 name.push(input.files[i].name);
}

• Tharindu Hasthika: it doesn't give an array after the loop
• Ando: name is your array - you add the values inside name and later you can iterate over it.

Answer 2

Try it this way

var name = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < input.files.length; ++i) {
 name[i] = name.push(input.files[i].name)
}

• RobG: I think you meant name[i] = inputfiles[i].name;

Answer 3

I found the answer the code uses both for loop and jquery $.each loop Thanx

for (var i = 0; i < input.files.length; ++i) {
 $.each(input.files.name,function(index,value){
 if(index == 'name'){
 name.push(value)
 }
 })
}
