What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of using a Java applet for handling mass image uploads in PHP?

Issue: Uploading a large number of images in PHP can be slow and inefficient. One potential solution is to use a Java applet to handle the mass image uploads, as Java applets can provide a more efficient and user-friendly way to upload multiple files at once. 

// PHP code snippet to handle mass image uploads using a Java applet

// HTML form with Java applet for mass image uploads
echo '<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">';
echo '<applet code="MultiFileApplet.class" archive="MultiFileApplet.jar" width="500" height="300">';
echo '</applet>';
echo '<input type="submit" value="Upload Images">';
echo '</form>';

// PHP code in upload.php to process the uploaded images
if(isset($_FILES['file'])){
    $uploads_dir = 'uploads/';
    foreach($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] as $key => $tmp_name ){
        $file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'][$key];
        $file_tmp = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$key];
        move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $uploads_dir.$file_name);
    }
    echo 'Images uploaded successfully!';
}
