not really anything to do with PHP -- but, no, not as far as I know. there is a file <input>, but it doesn't let you select a directory. there is no way for you to let a user upload an entire directory or anything like that, either, if that's what you're trying to do. you'd have to have some sort of java/flash based application to do the work for you.

well what i need to do if for the user to chose a directory on their own computer and from that get a list of all the files in that directory

.. well, you can't do that with any server side technology. server side languages are restricted to acting on the server, not the client.
