Multi-file uploading

Hello,

I want to make a multiple image uploader for image uploading. The users will have entire folders of images. Ideally, the user would be able to select multiple images at once from a folder, and upload them. I'm not sure if this is possible, but I need a good method of easy multiple image uploading, so the user doesn't have to select each individual image.

What is the best method or is there free software that already does this? Thanks in advance.
:D

Hi,

I have written an app that does just this. In fact it also posts information about the files in a MySQL DB for some dynamic viewing pages work. I can supply what I have if you like, it's kinda long to post here I think. It's about 230 lines, I'll post it if all think that's OK. I am new to the forum so trying to be careful. :oops: I did just spend a bunch of time though :banghead: for a problem I think now has to do with the total size of images selected to upload. It works fine until you reach a any number of files totaling somewhere around 6.5 MB. At this point the $_POST and $_FILE variables seem to lose their values and the app breaks down. Have either of you experienced this? I would be happy to share what I have as well.

Have your had a look at your php.ini settings? Sounds like it could be something in there messing things up.
