Multiple File Upload With Progress Bar Using php and jQuery

The default browser file input boxes do not allow multiple file selection for uploading at once and also do not provide any visual clue as to how much of the files selected have uploaded. Earlier I wrote about multiple file upload using AJAX, but that did not provide multiple file selection and a progress bar.

Today I am going to show you how to create a multiple file upload form that allows multiple file selection using Ctrl/Shift keys and also displays a progress bar for each of the selected files while they are uploading.
