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

Subject: 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
