How to uploade multiple files in Apex

Question

Hi All,
I went through the documnet to up;oad the files in apex which is wroking fine perfectly.
But how do we upload multile files at a time.
If we observe here we are using P2_File_name as one of the browser filed, similarly i have created three more browser buttons with names a s P3_file_name and P4_file_name
so how do chnage the proces to handle multiple files to uplaod at a ttime.
Here is the process i have followed.
IF ( :P2_FILE_NAME is not null ) THEN
INSERT INTO oehr_file_subject(id,NAME, SUBJECT, BLOB_CONTENT, MIME_TYPE)
SELECT ID,:P2_FILE_NAME,:P2_SUBJECT,blob_content,mime_type
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
WHERE name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
DELETE from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES WHERE name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
END IF;
Abd for downloading the file i have used a proceudre
create or replace PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM oehr_file_subject
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;
Thanks,
Anoo..
