Uploading folders using PHP

Hi,
I would like to build a function that will allow a user to upload a folder and that folder will either be stored in a mysql database or in another folder on our web server. Does anyone know if this can be done and if so how?

I have a class that uploads files no problem but know I was told to build on our upload page the capability to upload entire folders. HMMMMM


Thanks in advance

last I checked uploads over the web worked for individual files only.. they could compress the folder into an archive, like a zip, and the server could decompress it..

Thanks guys I thought so but I just wanted confirmation. The idea about zipping the folder is the option I will pursue.

Thanx
