Upload Multiple Files

the moose · 11-04-2009, 05:56 PM

Right, I can upload multiple files by having multiple input type="file" parts of a form, but what I want to do is have one of these where you can select multiple files and then have a PHP script that cycles through the selected files and uploads them.

Any ideas??

Cheers

Also - http://swfupload.org/ Allows you to select multiple files (multi-select left-click or right-click/drag box) and then upload them.

Thanks for all your suggestions so far guys.

The issue is that my users are going to be uploading 4-10 files from a folder which has a few thousand (if not, more!!) files in it, and would like to just open the one file browser and select all of them.

Any other suggestions??

Cheers

So, did you even look at the swfuplaod link I posted. It has a demo page with several of the various ways you can use it, including selecting multiple files at once. A HTML form by itself cannot do what you stated. The HTML form file browse dialog box is limited to selecting one file at a time.
