Uploading multiple files isn't a problem. That is if you want to have a form
on a page something like the following;
<form action="file-upload.html" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Upload these files:<br>
<input name="userfile[]" type="file"><br>
<input name="userfile[]" type="file"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send files">
</form>
PHP would then create an array of the following for each file uploaded.
$userfile[], $userfile_name[], and $userfile_size[]
Maybe we could use something like an 'Upload how many file? <textbox>' type
thing? I'm looking for a better solution to this now.
As for downloading... Perhaps a 'Mark for Download' link next to each file,
then a 'Download my Files' button which would take the user to a page with
all the files listed on one page, linked and ready for download? Kind of
like a shopping cart. The way hotfiles.com does it.
How does all of this sound?
