I am trying to figure out how to allow a user to select multiple files and upload them I found the following site http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html which seemed a little dated. It discussed using the html form element to do the initial select and then use a server side scrip to deal with the data, well about 2/3rds of the way down said the following: "Note the plural "files" - the idea is clearly that one such field should allow the inclusion of several files. Note that there is nothing an author needs to do, and nothing he can do, to make a browser allow the selection of several files per input field. It depends on the browser whether that is possible. " It seems like there should be some way to allow a multi select, but so far I am hitting dead ends (A few other websites have said the same thing). I dont want to have X fields where a user has to select each file individually then can upload them all at one time - Though if a user could select X files at once and then X textboxes would appear with a location in each that would be fine. If anyone knows of a way to do this or has some suggestions that would be great! PHP might be an option, I'd have to see if the host supports it and if I have the time to rewrite the page. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have just started at a company which has an existing web portal for Lotus Notes, and they would like me to do some further development. I managed to figure out Lotus Notes should be running on a domino server, but I am unfamiliar with it and had some questions. First some background. The existing portal has a log in screen and afterwards users can view their email or choose one of a few other links and that’s really all that’s there. It sounds like what they would like to do is use the existing security and determine which group a user belongs to. This would be used to decide what links / view a user would see. In addition they would like to tap into some MS SQL databases, generate reports, create a dashboard, etc. I was originally thinking about doing this with PHP as there would be a fair amount of Server Side Scripting, but I dont know if the Domino server supports it. Does anyone have suggestions about good places to look into, how to tap into the existing security or any general comments? Thanks!
