Yes, you would need to have several INPUT TYPE="FILE" browse buttons.
Also I have seen a application (written with MS tools) that allows
user to
upload a zip file containing images and the zip is automatically
uncompressed to a server disk. Can this be done with PHP also?
Yes.
http://php.net/zip
the zip extension is only available in php5.2 (or installable via
pecl).
Just to let you know, you can read and unzip with v4.x but it has to be
compiled in.
So, you would be able to READ a zip archive, but not WRITE one.
PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, and PECL is required
another option would to use the exec() function to make a call to
gunzip in order to unpack the contents of the zip file.
a truely poorman's alternative would be to offer multiple FILE input
fields on the relevant page and check which one's are not empty when
the submission occurs.
lastly there are custom (usually java based) browser plugins capable
of providing uploads-on-steriods - obviously there would a purchasing cost
involved and more than likely you will be requried to implement something
server side to complete the functionality.
