upload multiple files at once
|
|
|
| Hi,
Is it possible to upload a bunch of files at once to the server with a php
script ? The user should be able to select multiple files and not one by
one... All the scripts I found up till now can upload multiple files but
only by selecting them one by one in different boxes.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

It's not a PHP problem, but client-side HTML problem. HTML does not allow
multiple file upload (one <input type="file" ... /> is one uploaded file).
Some portals use ActiveX controls to solve those problems.

| Thanks for your reply.
What is the easiest way to solve this problem ? Write a java applet ?

Look at the text:
"The user should be able to select multiple files and not one by one..."
Your solution allows uploading of multiple files, but user has to select them
one by one.
Yes, it allows uploading more than one file, but each one requires one
<input type="file" ... /> tag, so 4 files is 4 inputs etc.

And use "name[]" as the fieldname then those files come into an array
which makes it easier to process.
