how do I create a file input which allows multiple files to be selected and uploaded?
It seems that <input type="file" name="fileinput">
allows only 1 file to be selected at a time, while the input on http://filetolink.com/ (for example) let’s the user select multiple files. How is this done and how do I go about processing?
Thanks in advance!
The HTML 5 input element can do this, but it’s not widely supported yet. (See here, the second answer)
Flash based uploaders like SWFUpload and Uploadify have this, but as said they need Flash, and they have a different philosophy behind how they work.
