Upload a whole directory through an HTML form

Question

Is it possible to upload a folder with a file input in the browser?

I searched and found out that this might be a browser limitation and that I might need to use a J

Answer 1

Please Try This for upload the folder :

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="files[]" id="files" multiple="" directory="" webkitdirectory="" mozdirectory="">
    <input class="button" type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

`

$count = 0;
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
    foreach ($_FILES['files']['name'] as $i => $name) {
        if (strlen($_FILES['files']['name'][$i]) > 1) {
            if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$i], 'folder/'.$name)) {
                $count++;
            }
        }
    }
}

It's becoming possible with use of webkitdirectory.

<input type="file" webkitdirectory directory multiple />

Supported since Firefox 50, Chrome 30, Safari 11.1, Edge 14, but not on most mobile browsers as of 2019: https://caniuse.com/#feat=input-file-directory
