<?= $form->field($model, 'files')->fileInput(['multiple' => 'multiple']) ?>
Prints:
<input type="file" id="uploadform-files" name="UploadForm[files]" multiple="multiple">
However, the name should have a ‘[]’ suffix, like:
<input type="file" id="uploadform-files" name="UploadForm[files][]" multiple="multiple">
How can I accomplish this?
*edit
<?= $form->field($model, 'files')->fileInput(['multiple' => 'multiple', 'name' => 'UploadForm[files][]']) ?>
This works. Also passes $model->validate();. Feels hackerish, is it?
Can you show the Controller logic for the file upload. For me if the file upload is none then the validate fails.
Thnx

public function actionUpload($id) {
$album = $this->findModel($id);
$model = new UploadForm;
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {
$files = UploadedFile::getInstances($model, 'files');
// TODO type filter
foreach($files as $file) {
if($file->type == 'image/jpeg') {
$this->savePhoto($album, $file);
}
}
return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $album->id]);
} else {
return $this->render('upload', [
'album' => $album,
'model' => $model
]);
}
}
I noticed that the UploadForm model has no rules, so that might be why mine validates and yours doesn’t 
Can’t test the rules right now.
