I currently submit a form on to an invisible iframe. The action file creates a CSV which is automatically downloaded. Is it possible to have multiple files downloaded when the form is submitted?

I don’t think that it is possible to do without having a custom download manager on the client side. You could technically insert them into the response stream to the client, but they wouldn’t understand how to handle it.
I have always just created a zip file with all the files in it and sent that to the client. Wouldn’t work if you are trying to display them in the browser or something like that, but I don’t know what your goal is on the client so I thought that it might work for you.
