How can user-friendliness be maintained when allowing users to upload multiple files in PHP?

When allowing users to upload multiple files in PHP, user-friendliness can be maintained by providing clear instructions, error messages, and feedback throughout the upload process. Additionally, using a user-friendly interface with progress bars or status updates can help users track the upload progress of each file. 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $total = count($_FILES['upload']['name']);
    
    for($i=0; $i<$total; $i++){
        $file_name = $_FILES['upload']['name'][$i];
        $file_tmp = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$i];
        
        // Process file upload here
        
        move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, "uploads/".$file_name);
    }
    
    echo "Files uploaded successfully!";
}
?>

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="upload[]" multiple>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload Files">
</form>
