E: remote php and local computer

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 many pictures 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.



Cheers, Lynn

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
