Uploading Multiple images... Help

gte806e

I want to upload up to 6 images. Currently im thinking of just using 6 file fields and then running an upload script on submit for all 6 images. However, wont take a while for the user? Is there a way I could show the status of the upload while they wait so they know that its still uploading and not locked up?

Or is there another way I should handle this like as soon as the user selects a image in the file input field i could automatically upload it? How could I do something like this? Maybe a onChange() event?

Thanks,

Jesse

i did the same thing a couple months ago for our company's admin center.... see the attatchment for a screen shot.

there are a few boxes where you can preview pictures to upload. what user doesnt know is that the pictures are uploaded when they are previewed. they are stored in a tmp dir.

before they submit the page that can upload, change, remove the pictures, or whatever they want.

after the page is submitted, the image files are copied to a permanent location on the server and the url is stored in the database.

this is probably what your looking for.... there is no 5 minute wait for the images to upload, the waiting is done while they preview it for upload.

unfortunately, i cant write the code for you and i cant give you access to the admin interface, but hopefully this helps.

Thanks for the reply, that might be one solution. That would work for this application.

PS I wasnt asking anyone to write all the code for me just to bounce ideas 😉

Thanks again

Have you figured out how to upload multiple images at one time and could you share your insight or code.

I need to design a html form and php code that will allow the selecting of a folder from my desktop and then upload the folder's contents/every file(all images) onto my server and then copy to a pre-defined directory.

Really appreciate any help !
