multiple record insert with images

Hi, I am building a photo gallery that has thumbnail images and larger images as well as descriptions, captions etc.
I am confused as how to provide multiple batch inserts into a MySQL datatabase for these products.

Image uploads are not compatible with the multiple insert behavior.

to be able to accomplish batch uploads, you would need to set up a page to upload a set number of files at a time.

For example, offer 5 file fields with description and captions for each.

add a file upload for each file fields and a separate insert record behavior for each file field

Ok, so I set up 5 records to be inserted and do I have them all in one form with one insert button?

yes, one form with file, description and caption elements for each upload

make sure all of the elements use unique names.

add a file upload for each field, and an insert record behavior for each file, description, caption combination.
