Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get something that I can implement into a page of a site I'm making that will create text links to every file in a certain directory, this will also have to automatically update when I add or remove a file from that directory. If anybody has any ideas or knows of a script of somesort, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Hi there,

Something like the following should do.

PHP Code:

<?PHP



// Directory to list the files from. Should be a relative path.

$dir = './';



if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {

    while ($file = readdir($dh)) {

        // Strip out '.', '.', .htaccess, etc.

        if (substr($file, 0, 1) != '.') {

            echo '<a href="'.$dir.$file.'">'.$file."</a><br />\n";

        }

    }

    closedir($dh);

}



?>

This script lists all the files in the specified directoty upon load, so the users will see the up-to-date version always (with an exception of cache). You can do a little more with directory related functions of PHP.

You can find a good resource here:
