multiple selection and upload

[ksmatthews]

HI There,

 

I am familiar with the process of uploading multiple files by creating one control for each file like this ...

 

<?

  $num_uploads = $_POST['uploadsNumber'];

  for($i=0; $i < $num_uploads; $i++)

      <input name="uploadFile<? echo $i;?>" type="file" id="uploadFile<? echo $i;?>" />

?>

 

BUT how can upload multiple files so that the user can select several files from the same folder by using CTRL to select

multiple files. This would only require one line  .. 

 

<input name="uploadFile" type="file" id="uploadFile" />

 

instead of one for EACH file.

I think you can do this with JS helpers (try Mootools extensions), but the more common way to do this is with a Flash program. I'm sure the one I used once was called fupload, but I can't find it now...
