In order to upload multiple files, you need multiple file upload fields.
The file upload on flickr, orkut would use JavaScript to create the multiple upload files in the upload form.

So as you clicked the "add file" button, JavaScript generated a new <input type="file"> field and appended it to the <form>.

Basically, it is more of a JavaScript question then PHP.

To handle file uploads in PHP see:

http://www.php.net/features.file-upload

If you want upload multiple files and receive them as an Array, then name your files like:

<input type="file" name="files[]" />

see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.arrays

This is also in "Example 3" on the PHP file uploads docs. http://www.php.net/features.file-upload
