The way Gallery solved this is by allowing you to upload a zipfile of files
(ok, so you need to know in advance which files you want to upload and have
them ready zipped) and the php then unzips them for you.

Just a thought, although this might not be the best solution if you have the
type of user who thinks a cd drive is a cup holder!

Alternatively, why not provide a list of, say, 10 input fields allowing you
to select up to 10 files and then you have one 'UPLOAD!' button. Again, this
is how Gallery allows the user to do it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
