Hi fitiux
I'm sure the list will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're talking about
isnt possible, at least not in this way.
This isn't a limitation of PHP - its a limitation of the HTML form element
that handles the uploads.
You could consider a client-side applet to achieve the result another way. A
Java applet would do the job - although you will need to sign it and users
will need to grant it permission to read their hard drives (I think this is
how it works, it's been a while...)
Good luck
Shane

Hi everybody!
I'm new in the list.
I'll help anybody if I can =)
by now I have a little trouble ;-)
I have to create a php page where users can upload many files
the idea is that users could select many files by holding down
the shift key... with this I can avoid to put many input tags in my page.
When I use an input type=file and pass to the next page
a temporary file name (/var/temp/phpGH65YT) is created..
but if I try to use another way to send the file name.. this temp file name
is not created. and I just get an error: I cannot open the file name
test.txt in /var/html/pages/test.php for reading
an alternative is in fact of I know the file names that users must upload.
I could ask them for the path and then I'd show a list of files to upload
and users only will have to click on one button.
is it possible to make more easy the file uploading for users?
I mean... is it possible to upload many files without to choose one by one
within a html page with many input tags?
ooh yes.. I cannot use zipped files not even a ftp connection
best regards
from Chile.
PS: I apology for my english... I hope that you can understand me =)
