No. Its not a limitation of PHP, but a limitation of the browser itself. There is no way to select a folder for upload (and pass the data through).

You could however upload an archive, and then use php to unzip it.

No, not only php, you would require an activex control (IE only) or java applet.

Take a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jupload/, it is a java applet intended to allow multiple file/folder uploading.

That's not a limitation of PHP, but of the browsers themselves. They don't allow you to select a "folder" to upload. You can only do a file; one file per input tag.

Your best bet is to zip a folder, upload it and use PHP to unzip it on the local file system.

or

You could use (Java Applet): http://jupload.biz/

or

(Flash) http://swfupload.org/
