Hi

I’m trying to upload multiple files but I see that getUploadedFiles() only gets one file.

This is my code:

```
 $files = $request->getUploadedFiles();

 var_dump($files);
 die();

```

And I’m using Postman like this example ([https://i.stack.imgur.com/kAIrb.png](https://i.stack.imgur.com/kAIrb.png)) and choosing several files

Thanks in advance!

Same thing was happening to me when i had input set like this:  
`<input type="file" name="gallery" multiple="multiple">`  
fix was to add “[]” behind name:  
`<input type="file" name="gallery[]" multiple="multiple">`

now getUploadedFiles() shows more than one file,  
hope it helps somebody 🙂
