Is it possible to allow user pick several images and upload them all at once? (I need to pass the images to a function for the resize). Or do I need to give several browse buttons to allow multiple file uploads?
      
Yes, you would need to have several INPUT TYPE="FILE" browse buttons.
Also I have seen a application (written with MS tools) that allows user to upload a zip file containing images and the zip is automatically uncompressed to a server disk. Can this be done with PHP also?
      
Yes. http://php.net/zip
    
the zip extension is only available in php5.2 (or installable via pecl).
Just to let you know, you can read and unzip with v4.x but it has to be compiled in. So, you would be able to READ a zip archive, but not WRITE one. PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, and PECL is required
There is also the pear class: http://pear.php.net/package/File_Archive No idea about what requirements that has, just another option. :) -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
