Upload a whole folder via php, not just one file?
I have a client who thinks their users will want to upload an entire folder of files at once to save time. Assuming I've already set php.conf to handle this large load, how do I even go about doing this? As far as I know the only program that can upload a whole folder is ftp? Is there anyway to integrate php with ftp functions to get this result? Or is there some way for a user to indicate a path to their folder on their hard drive and using a directory listing alogorithm php just loops thru the folder on the clien'ts machine and uploads each document one at a time until it's done with the appearance of doing it at once to the user? any hacks at all? TIA!

step 1.
Zip file gets uploaded to the server using PHP copy() function.
step 2.
Zip file gets FTP'd from the server to another server (if necessary)
step 3.
Zip file gets extracted and directory structure is re-created on target server.
Hope that clears up any confusion.
