How can I make an upload with PHP for four image files and also do:
Change the names of all the files to PHP defined names

Only allow upload of .jpg and .png formats

Each time a form is submitted it should save the files to a different folder

Print out the root of each file with the format in a separate tag

Zip all the files that were uploaded and change the name of the zip file to "images:" and place the download link inside the tag

What I have tried:

This is the code that I made

PHP

<?php

 $Message_sent = false;
if(isset($_POST['email']) && $_POST['email'] != ' '){
 
    if( filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) ){
 

$userName = $_POST['inputNmae'];
$userEmail = $_POST['inputEmail'];
$message = $_POST['inputMessage'];
$fileOne = $_POST['inputFileOne'];
$fileTwo = $_POST['inputFileTwo'];
$fileThree = $_POST['inputFileThree'];
$fileFour = $_POST['inputFileFour'];
$to = "my@email.com";
$body = "";


$body .=  "From: \r\n".$userName. "\r\n\r\n";
$body .= "Email: \r\n".$userEmail. "\r\n\r\n";
$body .= "Message: \r\n".$message. "\r\n\r\n";
$body .= "File 1: \r\n".$fileOne. "\r\n\r\n";
$body .= "File 2: \r\n".$fileTwo. "\r\n\r\n";
$body .= "File 3: \r\n".$fileThree. "\r\n\r\n";
$body .= "File 4: \r\n".$fileFour. "\r\n\r\n";



mail($to,$messageSubject,$body);

$Message_sent = true;
}


    
}

?>

you divide the needs in a good way.

www.php.net

this part of php :

$userName = $_POST['inputName'];

could be :


$body .=  "From: \r\n".$_POST['inputName']."\r\n\r\n";

because $_POST is a var, an Array with all values in.
try it :

foreach($_POST as $item){
 echo $item;
}
