I'm not sure if this should be in Script requests, but I just wondered if there is any JavaScript avaliable that will allow my page to do this:

On the page I want a section which will contain a list of file names in one of the folders on the site, and that it can read if any new files have been added to the folder, and if so, update itself by adding the new file (onto the page).

Any help would be appreciated.

You might be better off using PHP to accomplish this, try asking in the php boards or have the mod move this one. Sorry i have been up all night and i dont know 100% how to do this off the top of my head but i have done this befor using php.

Javascript doesn't have access to the filesystem on the server because it runs on the client.
I'll move this to the PHP section.

Here's an example.

PHP Code:

$path = './'; // You may want to change this.



$dir = opendir($path);



while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)

{

     if (!in_array($file, array('.', '..')) )

     {

          echo $file .'<br />'. "\n";

     }

}



closedir($dir);
