thanks, Dash. I'm sure that would work, but i'm try to set up a page that allow a user to upload pictures for use in a photo gallery that i've scripted (i know i'm reinventing the wheel here). a user might have 50 or a 100 pics, and to upload one by one may be a bit tedious.
does someone have an alternative approach that accomplishes what i'm trying to do? from what i've read, $_FILES seems to contain an associative array. i'm not sure what that means, but perhaps that's things off. i got this from a comment in the docs: The $_FILES variable is not very well documented. Beware that it contains an associative array: array(1) { ["File"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=> string(12) "brahhh.jpg" ["type"]=> string(11) "image/pjpeg" ["tmp_name"]=> string(14) "/tmp/php2Uyz0c" ["error"]=> int(0) ["size"]=> int(36950) } } it seems that $_FILES['userfile'] has a default size of 5. but i'm not sure how to...comprehend this. any ideas on how to get around this? thanks. --db "Dash McElroy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:ABA3F1F1A223D411BE6C006008A6F7E2604D86@;MSX1-PTON... > db; > > What I would do (and I have not done this...) would be this: > > Make the page ask for one file, then upload it, then automatically refresh > (via header("Location: ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); or something similar, and > ask for another file.
