Thanks for the info. That extension sounds interesting and I'll check it out but we basically don't support third party browser addons.

foreach ($_FILES['file']['name'] as $key=>$name) {
   $file = new UploadedFile($name);
   move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$key], $file->getFileLocation() );
}

Terry Johnson:
Update - dragdropupload doesn't work on aC 1.0.4 - only the first file is saved.


Hi Terry,

Can you please explain what you meant by this?

Using Flash to overcome the limitations of html file inputs seems increasingly common, but that also requires the receiving code on the server to be able to handle getting several files at once.

This is because in a corporate environment the Standard Operating Environmenet is often locked down, many teams do not have the option to install this software.

I've found it to be a fantastic time saver when uploading more than one file. It's not perfect, but if the PHP code processing the upload loops through $_FILES then you can drop as many items as you like in one go.

I like these suggestions, can uploaded files become objects that can be passed on to another object?

You can do the re-useable link so that where it's first uploaded can be where it's referenced in any future discussion post.
