What are some alternative methods or techniques that can be used to prevent spamming the server with multiple files in PHP form submissions?

One way to prevent spamming the server with multiple files in PHP form submissions is to limit the number of files that can be uploaded in a single submission. This can be done by checking the count of files in the $_FILES array and restricting it to a certain number.

// Check if the number of files uploaded exceeds a certain limit
if(count($_FILES['file']['name']) > 5){
    echo "You can only upload a maximum of 5 files at a time.";
    exit;
}

// Process the file uploads
foreach($_FILES['file']['name'] as $key => $name){
    // Handle file upload logic here
}
