Hello!

I would like to create php code for uploading photos into the server. However, it would not be so easy script to create.
I would like to upload unlimited number of photos into the ftp server after once clicking on "Browse" button. I mean such situation that I choose 20, 30, and some more number of photos, which I would like to upload on serve. I would like not to break down a page when I would choose 20 photos which every of them would be 4 MB sized. I would to imlemenet such code on my www after loging and the access to the page would have only narrow group of people (I mean my family). I wouldn`t like to solve this problem creating 20 input tags, because such solution is too easy and less funcional and making tired after some time.
I would like also to create progress bar for just uploading photos.

Can you write me if such solution is possible to create on php + html if so can you send me some examples?

Obviously, I wouldn`t like to give my ftp server parameters (host + password), because some part of my family is not so bright with configuring ftp connections on i.e. Total Commander client. I wouldn`t like to create subaccount because my hosting company doesn`t give me such possibility. I would like to create also script which would send me emails to the group of people who have accounts to this page, but mail script is easy to implement.

Please give me the suggestions and solution examples of such scripts on php + html;.
Thank you in advance for help.

It can't be done the way you describe with HTML. Each FILE input element only accepts a single file. If you want to be able to send 20 files, you need 20 FILE input fields. And you'll have to browse for each one, unfortunately.

And you won't be able to access the client computer from other controls, due to the browser's security restrictions.

If you're going to want something like this, you'll need to install something client side. Then you can do whatever you want. But it wouldn't be PHP, unless you want to force them to install a PHP interpreter on each computer.
