Image uploader - Java or Ajax?

We require an image uploader creating. I'm not sure if it should be in Java (similar to how facebook do it) or Ajax - looking for people with skills who have done something similar. Basically we have an ecommerce app created in PHP and we want to give our clients the ability to upload multiple photos without needing to learn about FTP. All I think we need to do is point to a folder and this will then upload all the images in this folder. An alternative might be to be able to pick individual images to upload (or select all) in the same way that facebook does but we're after a simple and elegant solution. I'm also not sure how this interacts with the scripts on our server to finalise the import, so will need some help here. Only people who have done something similar may apply and be prepared to show us what you've done before - don't mean to offend but there are a lot of people on RAC who don't know what they're doing!
