The function can easily be modified to handle multiple filenames (change the parameter to accept an array of filenames and modify the final foreach block). Note that this is modified code from the webdeveloper.com forum. If you want to know more about uploading files in PHP, check out the PHP - File Upload tutorial.
// Return empty string if uploaded image is successfully saved as
// $image_filename or an error message. $image_filename should be
// saved in a directory that the web server can write to.
