Is it possible to upload a Folder using HTML Form / PHP script

Question

I'm developing a website where multiple images are uploaded to a website and I'm playing around with ways that this can be done. At the moment I have a php script that will get & display images from a given folder which looks like this:

<?php
$dirname = "content/2014/February/";
$images = glob($dirname."*.*");
foreach($images as $image) {
echo '<img src="'.$image.'" /><br />';
}
?>

This works fine and I can format the <img> using css and apply jquery for the gallery, BUT, how can I upload the folder of images using php and a html form in the first place?
