How can PHP be used to allow users to choose a local directory on their computer for file uploads?

To allow users to choose a local directory on their computer for file uploads, you can use the <input type="file"> HTML element with the "directory" and "webkitdirectory" attributes. This allows users to select a directory instead of individual files. In PHP, you can handle the uploaded directory path using the $_FILES superglobal array. 

&lt;form action=&quot;upload.php&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;directory&quot; directory webkitdirectory&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Upload&quot;&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;?php
if(isset($_FILES[&#039;directory&#039;])){
    $directory_path = $_FILES[&#039;directory&#039;][&#039;tmp_name&#039;];
    // Handle the directory upload here
}
?&gt;
