Free java or flash file browser for photogallery

Question

Hi.

I'm about to develop a small web gallery, where it's supposed to be possible to upload several pictures at a time and then add some info abut the pictures.So I need a free java or flash local file browser that can pass me some info of the pictures that gets uploaded so that I can create some SQL entries for each picture.

The platform for the project will be PHP and MySQL.

Any good recommendations?

I think what you are looking for is SWFUpload.

From the feature list:

• Upload multiple files at once by ctrl/shift-selecting in dialog
• Javascript callbacks on all events
• Get file information before upload starts
• Style upload elements with XHTML and css
• Display information while files are uploading using HTML
• No page reloads necessary
• Works on all platforms/browsers that has Flash support.
• Degrades gracefully to normal HTML upload form if Flash or javascript is unavailable
• Control filesize before upload starts
• Only display chosen filetypes in dialog
• Queue uploads, remove/add files before starting upload
