PHP's equivalent of move_uploaded_file

Using Django Getting Started
1 
uploaded_file = request.FILES['my-file-1']

Why is there one-liner to copy the file from the temp location to the actual folder. I seem to be given this :

    # Open the destination file in write mode
    with open(file_path, 'wb') as destination_file:
        # Iterate over the uploaded file chunks and write them to the destination file
        for chunk in uploaded_file.chunks():
            destination_file.write(chunk)

It may help if you provide more context around your question. Those two code fragments perform two different functions under two different sets of circumstances.

I have a form which has more than one file inputs where each file input is set to multiple.
I want to move / copy all those files from the temp location to a specific directory.

Ahh, that’s the issue.

See: File Uploads | Django documentation | Django

The docs even acknowledge that there’s a lot of room for improvement for Django’s handling of multiple file uploads.

How reliable is shutil if there are like 50 file uploads ?

import shutil
shutil.copyfileobj(uploaded_file, open(file_path, 'wb'))

Also, I’m not using regular traditional form sending here.

const formData = new FormData();

const fileInputs = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="file"]');

fileInputs.forEach(fileInput =>
{
    const fieldName = fileInput.name;
    const files = fileInput.files;    

    for (let i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
    {
        const file = files[i];
        formData.append(fieldName, file);
    }
});

Then I’m using fetch to send the data as body: formData taking into account of csrftoken in the header. ({ headers: {'X-CSRFToken': csrftoken} })

I’d have no clue - I wouldn’t even try to do anything that appears as fragile as that on either end.

I think I would have to look for a file uploading service plugin that would connect the interface to the api. No to jQuery even if it exists.
