Hi there, I need to find a good, reliable upload utility to upload multiple files (images) to my web server. I want a utility that will allow me the facility to batch upload files, without a finite amount of html forms. I have tried a couple of Java upload utilities already. 1 worked quite well, but had some major flaws and rendered it un-reliable. Preferably I would like it in PHP, but from my research it seems impossible. Do you guys know any possible solutions or suggestions? ---

why don’t you use an ftp client? ---

When I first read it, I thought he was making it for his clients to upload. ---

Yeah, guess he wants a web-based uploader. Might check out [hotscripts.com](http://hotscripts.com) ---

Hi there, Thanks for the replies. Yes, I require a website based uploader for users to upload images to my webserver. Been pullin my hair out trying to find a good and simple solution for end-users… As I said I have tried a couple of Java Applet based solutions, but no luck, would prefer not to use a Java applet uploader if possible. Looked at flash options but didn’t really see any. any ideas? ---

Why not just code one yourself? There are plenty php tutorials out there for uploading multiple files. ---

In what language? PHP? I have checked out many options… I require a a way to upload multiple files in 1 go, not the standard way of using an HTML form and PHP upload. As you probably no this way only enables you to upload 1 file at a time, or have many form input fields… Unless you have a better idea you could suggest? ---

So you need them to simultaniously upload? Is there a reason for that? ---

I have built a FLASH based php multiple file uploader many times, it’s actually quite easy. ---

Hi there, Thanx for your replies again. Yeah, I need them simultaniously, basically I need my users to have a very quick easy way to upload mant images to the website. Doing them 1 by 1 is not practical when you have maybe 50+ images. So you can build an upload utility in flash? Is that reliable? Sounds interesting… Anyone know any tutorials for this flash upload, or know any off-the-shelf options I could find? ---

Defective, thanks for your help. I will have to admit, I am not a guru flash developer so coding 1 from the ground up might be demanding. Any pre-made flash upload utilities I can use or purchase for this scenario? Or even if any of you guys have done something in the past I could use? Many thanks in advance…
