parse a directory

[asus]

Is there a way to use html or php to parse the content of a directory on a webserver, then setup a link to those files and display them on a page? Thanks

PHP5 has scandir() http://uk.php.net/scandir

 

I dont have 5, so I've used the following in PHP4

 

function scandir($dir)
{
  $i = 0;
  $dh = opendir($dir);

  if (!$dh) {
  return NULL;
  }

  while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
  if ($filename == "." || $filename == "..") continue;
  $files[$i++] = $filename;
  }
  closedir($dh);

  return $files;
}

 

Which I also found on the php site (probably under scandir() comments even) and altered slightly.
