simply07 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hello, I am trying to upload a large amount of files through an admin script. The smallest file i've been able to upload so far is 85mb. this is a zip file with abotu 50 pictures. ( i have set_ini to control the timeouts and the file upload size) I was wondering if, instead of upload the photos as one big zip folder, is it possible to read a directory on the users computer and upload what is in there? ie: the user specifies a folder and then the script read the files, one by one, and uploads them to the server? Is it possible to do this? If not, does anyone know of any script/app that allows to upload large files. Thanks to anyone who can help Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114876-can-php-read-a-directory/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD* Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Not with pure php. Since it executes on the server, it can't reach out to a user's computer and do things. You'd need to look into a Java/Javascript solution. Of course, all of this is as far as I know. There may be a way, but if there is, nothing I've research has shown how to do it with only php.

Third_Degree Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I don't think browsers allow you to do this. An FTP client may... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114876-can-php-read-a-directory/#findComment-590766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomatt Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 No, can't do this. ActiveX is the only way, as far as I know. The easiest way is to upload a zip and have the PHP script extract it.

wompas.dub Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 yeah, I agree with these guys - I'd say what could really get what you want done exactly would have to be a Java applet or something. :\ sorry man Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114876-can-php-read-a-directory/#findComment-590796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
