I really wouldn't rely on a form that contains more than 20 file upload
boxes though. If someone uploads some large files, they're stuck with an
extremely long wait which will slow down your server a bit as well if a
lot of people are using the same form at the same time.

Have you looked at using a multi-file upload element instead?
