networkthis Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have created a file browser program that will allow the uploading of multiple documents as well as the browsing of all documents and the deletion of all documents. It is set up so that the folders are all links to the files and they can be individually downloaded. It is starting to be used more frequently and I need some advice on downloading multiple files. I'm not sure if I should just make checkboxes by each individual file and have an upload selected button. Or if it is even possible to upload all the files in one folder at the same time, maybe have a donwload button by the folder(That would be ideal!). I'm fairly new at php and really just don't even know where to begin with the multi donwload feature. I am becoming fairly comfortable working with the dir functions and the file functions after writing this file browser, but like I said I'm kind of at a stand still. Any advice, tutorials etc. would be great...google has failed me on this one!!! Thanks in advace!!!

DarkWater Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Multifile DOWNLOAD or UPLOAD? You could put the files into a .gz or a .zip and have them download that...

DarkWater Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 http://www.phpit.net/article/creating-zip-tar-archives-dynamically-php/ Read it. It's pretty thorough. I had it in my favorites for some reason. I think I was using it a while ago as a reference for something and never deleted it. o-O Meh. It's good.
