echo "1";
foreach ($uploadfiles['name'] as $key => $value) {
// look only for uploded files

$filetmp = $uploadfiles['tmp_name'][$key];
//clean filename and extract extension
$filename = $uploadfiles['name'][$key];
// get file info
// #fixme: wp checks the file extension....
$filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $filename ), null );
$filetitle = preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename( $filename ) );
$filename = $filetitle . '.' . $filetype['ext'];
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
/**
* Check if the filename already exist in the directory and rename the
* file if necessary
*/
$i = 0;
while ( file_exists( $upload_dir['path'] .'/' . $filename ) ) {
$filename = $filetitle . '_' . $i . '.' . $filetype['ext'];
$i++;
}
$filedest = $upload_dir['path'] . '/' . $filename;
/**

*/
if ( !is_writeable( $upload_dir['path'] ) ) {
$this->msg_e('Unable to write to directory %s. Is this directory writable by the server?');
return;
}
