    Multiple file uploads

    Hi

    Is it possible to perform multiple file uploads via a form? It's no
    problem uploading single files but I want to be able to highlight a
    group of files and upload them all in one go. My current method,
    multiple <INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="userfile[x]"> entries, works but means
    selecting each file individually.

    You can't do that with a regular HTML form.

    Download File Upload Applet for free. A tool for web developpers, to get rid of HTML upload limitation. AS OF JAVA PLUGIN DEPRECATION: applet execution within the navigator is "in danger". But JUpload applet can executed in JNLP mode, or within your java application.


    Use the JUpload applet. It sits on your upload page, and the applet submits
    to a processing script that you specify. (Your browser doesn't leave the
    upload page though...it shows you a progress bar, and tells you when it is
    done).

    When you upload the files, they will be available in your processing script
    as $_FILES["File1"], $_FILES["File2"], etc.

      Nope... not without some sort of Java, Flash, or other client-side
      front-end.

      If you have the access, you could make some sort of FTP drop-box processor,
      but that's iffy.

        By the way, there are a couple of better applets out there...but I
        recommended this one because it's free and I'm a cheap bastard.

          Not realy, at least as far as I am aware of, this is a function of the
          browser/HTML not the PHP script.

          What I have done in the past is to allow a .zip file upload and the
          server unzips it and goes to work.

              Hi Folks

              Thanks for all the replies. I thought it was probably a browser issue.
              I'll play around with Java and see how I get on. Not the path I would
              prefer but......

                maybe I'm missing something here, but I created an HTML form that allows
                upto 4 jpg's to be uploaded at the same time and it works fine?!

                  By having 4 different file fields, yes you can do that. He doesn't want to
                  do it one by one...he wants to select multiple files and submit it using one
                  thing. I use that JUpload applet to upload many photos to my galleries (like
                  50) at the same time.

                    I think he is looking to click one upload button, and inster 4 files into
                    one box by highlighting more than one, instead of having sever inpout boxes
                    on a form. At least I think that what he is asking

                      Yup, that's what I'm after. Having 20+ input boxes would be a real pain!
