I am trying to let users select multiple files for uploading by highlighting them. Can this be done through a "file" input button? 


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 of 
fact, if

PHP could access client resources it wouldn't be very secure.
If there is something in particular that you are trying to 
accomplish
please let us know and we can see if we can make recommendations 
for

how to accomplish the task.



HTH,
Everett

Hi all,
I wondered if a php script on a server can access the local 
files of
a computer connected to that server? I have heard that php can 
look

at folders on the server, so I know it has functions for folder
management, and I thought I had heard somewhere about it being 
able
to do this on a local machine? It seems like a security risk, 
but

all the same...  is it possible?



Have a great day,
Alex
