[FX.php List] PHP Batch uploading

[Leo R. Lundgren]

Not that I know of at least. It's not a limitation of PHP but the  
fact that browsers don't support uploading entire folders.

You can solve it using Java applets for the client side if you want  
to, I know there are some. Other than that I can't think of any  
JavaScript to do it either :/

I think the easiest solution for both you and your client is to have  
them zip the folder they want to send, and upload the zipfile. You  
can then unzip the file on your end when needed (if it's a zip file).  
One more step for them, but it's probably that or Java (or ActiveX,  
horrors!).

Be careful though to adjust the php settings such as  
max_upload_filesize and possibly other settings as well, especially  
if you're using a PHP extension such as Suhosin (Hardened PHP).  
Depending on how you handle the zip file extraction you might need to  
adjust memory_limit as well.
