The one thing I had to kind of figure out myself through trial and error is to NOT have the files uploaded, but rather have an output of just the file names, and not only that but to make it multiple files and not just one X_X
AND I think you'll all be VERY happy to know this, but there will be no need for having files named 1-100 etc.! It should keep the unique file names that you've uploaded! :))
OK I KNOW I'M UPDATING A LOT HERE but I think I may have heavily edited around another code to produce the exact same result through the file uploading input (multiple file upload of course) ANDDDDDDDD *drumroll* it's all JAVASCRIPT!! I plan on implementing it into my site really soon so keep your eyes peeled!!
I did it with my stamps and blinkies, but for those I had to use the numbered names instead of having unique ones, so now I'm really happy that I can still have my fun file names)
thank you sm!
