input element file: can it be made to select multiple files?

[carsten888]

I want to allow users to select a number of files or all files in a directory. But the file-element only allows users to select one file at a time.

If only I could rewrite it so the actual value would be an array of file names which i can read in php.

has anyone come up with a solution (not java) to get ONE file-element select multible files.?

Not that I've ever found, you need to generate multiple input elements with unique names and id's.
