In that case, I think you might want to figure out a way to have the user
zip the files and then unzip them server side.
That sounds like the least tedious way without requiring a mass file
upload (i.e. other than http access to the web host like ftp or direct).
I think you're running into an HTTP limit here, not a PHP limit.
