I need to select multiple files and I found one way to do this. But that way only works on newest browsers, using attribute "multiple" on input.

I didnt found any solution on internet.

Can anyone help me to find a solution?

I'm able to use HTML, PHP, JavaScript (jQuery).

Thanks for attention.

There is no native solution to multiple file selection uploading in older browsers. This requires some kind of plugin technology, typically Flash or Java.

I personally use Plupload. It will seamlessly switch between HTML5 and Flash (among others) based on the user's browser. There are plenty of other Flash or Java multi-file upload solutions out there as well.

I think the traditional solution to this is to allow multiple file input elements; like this.

File 1: [_____] (Browse...)

File 2: [_____] (Browse...)

Upload more files...

If the user needs more, just have them click a button at the bottom to create them. At some points, YouTube would allow you to use a Java applet-based upload dialog as well; but since then the opinion of Java applet security has faded quite a lot and most people avoid it entirely.

Having multi-selection is a real benefit to modern browsers, and one that's not really so easy to emulate in the older ones.

Thank you for your suggestion and explanation, but I need to select more multiple files at once. I'll try to use Java or Flash solutions like @jszobody suggested
