<title>Uploading an entire directory</title>
<simpara>
In HTML file upload fields, it is possible to upload an entire directory with the <literal>webkitdirectory</literal> attribute.
This feature is supported in most modern browsers.
</simpara>
<simpara>
With the <literal>full_path</literal> information, it is possible to store the relative paths,
or reconstruct the same directory in the server.

<warning>
<simpara>
The <literal>webkitdirectory</literal> attribute is non-standard and is not on a standards track.
Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user.
There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
</simpara>
<simpara>
PHP only parses the relative path information submitted by the browser/user-agent,
and passes that information to the <varname>$_FILES</varname> array.
There is no guarantee that the values in the <literal>full_path</literal> array contains a real directory structure,
and the PHP application must not trust this information.
