No. That would be nice though eh? What I have done in the past is when a user needs to upload a file, I give them a linked button that links to a ftp:// style address. This ftp account points to a directory that PHP can have access to. The user then drags and drops (IE only) the files on this new window, which uploads the files to this directory. Once they're done, they close the window, and hit a second button 'Click here when finished uploading' which tells php to grab all the files in the upload directory and put them where they need to go. This is far from ideal, causes miserable problems when more than one person is using the technique at once, and offers a host of security and usability issues. Oh, and it's IE only, Firefox can't do this, and I don't think opera/safari can either. However, it's much better than uploading a ton of files individually using a form. I only use this for applications where I can be sure that only one user will use it at once, and they're trusted. In a pinch it works though. I don't care so much about drag and drop, I was just trying to solve the multi-file upload issue. I wish there was a better way. If I'm stupid and there is, I'd love to hear about it. -Micah On Friday 18 November 2005 5:42 pm, Chris Payne wrote: > HI there everyone, > > > > I have a file upload system where you select via requester the file to > upload, it then uploads it with PHP and stores the info in a MySQL > database.
