Well, basically, I'm just trying to do a batch upload for my photo album. I already have it setup so that I can upload one picture at a time. But say I want to upload all of the pictures from a wedding or something. They all belong to the same album, have the same date, same photographer, and some of the same categories. So i am trying to create a batch upload system for these purposes. I can do this for one file. I just need to make it possible for more than one..... Should I be seeing if there is a way I can get the user to be able to select more than one file from their computer (as opposed to selecting a directory)? Or am I simply going to have to get inventive with the use of several languages? Thanks for the feedback.
