Okay, thanks. I have never done this sort of thing before so was not sure how much I could do. Oh well, they can just click a lot I guess, though zipping is not a bad idea either. I will have to work on that.
Have a great day, Alex

Alex, I don't think that's possible. You could suggest they zip
the
files up and you could write a routine to unzip them I suppose.
Cheers, Lynn

I was hoping to just let the user select a bunch of files, since
the
service is for picture uploading and, knowing some of the people
that
will use it as well as I do, I expect them to want to upload manypictures in one session. How would multiple inputs help? You
still have
to just click one at a time. I can add all the paths to a hidden
field
as they select them, but all this is still one file at a time.
Have a great day, Alex

Alex, I think you'd need multiple file inputs for this.

I am trying to let users select multiple files for uploading by highlighting them. Can this be done through a "file" inputbutton?
Have a great day, Alex

Good morning Alex,
PHP running on a web-server is a server-side language. It cannot access any resources on the client computer. As a matter offact, ifPHP could access client resources it wouldn't be very secure.
If there is something in particular that you are trying toaccomplishplease let us know and we can see if we can make recommendationsforhow to accomplish the task.
HTH, Everett

Hi all, I wondered if a php script on a server can access the localfiles ofa computer connected to that server? I have heard that php canlookat folders on the server, so I know it has functions for folder management, and I thought I had heard somewhere about it beingableto do this on a local machine? It seems like a security risk,butall the same... is it possible?
