One file upload form for different file types

[JasonDFR]

I would like to make one form which allows uploads of different file types.

I know this is possible, however I am struggling with how require x number of a certain file type.

If I have a form asking for 1 text file, 2 photos, and 1 video file, what is stopping someone from uploading 4 photos?

I need to validate, but what is the best way? I can't figure out how to validate.

In my mind this is getting very complicated.

Thanks!

The program will be simple, but you must work for that simplicity. See finfo_file for the central function; see Installing/Configuring for what you need to do to get it (and pay attention to the comments!).
