How can JavaScript be utilized to handle multiple downloads in PHP?

To handle multiple downloads in PHP using JavaScript, you can create a script that dynamically generates multiple download links based on user input or a predefined list of files. This script can be triggered by a button click or another user action to initiate the downloads. 

<?php
// Array of file URLs to download
$files = array(
    'file1.pdf',
    'file2.jpg',
    'file3.zip'
);

// Loop through the array and create download links
foreach ($files as $file) {
    echo "<a href='#' onclick='downloadFile(\"$file\")'>$file</a><br>";
}
?>

<script>
function downloadFile(file) {
    // Create a hidden anchor element and trigger the download
    var downloadLink = document.createElement('a');
    downloadLink.href = file;
    downloadLink.download = file.split('/').pop();
    document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
    downloadLink.click();
    document.body.removeChild(downloadLink);
}
</script>
