Re: [PHP-DB] Upload multiple files? | [PHP-DB] MySQL: CREATE TABLE, BLOB, UNIQUE, INDEX etc
The other option is...

You create a pop-up menu system.

That have the file form field to select from a location. When you upload
the image it populates a HTML display table so you can see it and also
allows you to select another image. 

When you are done.. you close the pop-up menu and that's that!

You got options. Just a matter of how much time you wanna invest ;)
