Wow, well it's good to see we're all on the same page. Three replies all suggesting the same option...... zipped files. Yeah.... here's the trick. I'm trying to make this process easier for my mother, not myself. So in the end, this is adding another layer... So, if I don't want to do the zipped files idea (which is a kinda snazzy idea btw) then I have only two other options: 1) do the list of sinlge file selections as suggested, or 2)use another programming language (javascrip or java I would imagine) to connect to the local machine, browse, select the folder, find the files, and submit them in the form as hidden fields (somehow).
Well, if anyone else comes up with a neat idea, let me know. I'll let y'all know if I come up with something interesting myself. Thanks for all the feedback. I appreciate it. --Alex > On Tue, Dec 07, 2004 at 02:13:16PM -0600, Alex Brelsfoard wrote: >> 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.
