How to write a PHP coding to list out all files and directories as links to them

[angel_manma]

This is somewhat similar to some index pages. When new file or folder is added to the directory, HTML page should display the newly created file/folder together with previous ones after it is being refreshed. (prefer in alphabatical order)

[phphelp]

Here is the function that recursively scan files and directories within a given directory, and generates an array of all files/directories with their paths. You can then use this array to generate links as you need.

[php]
// Recursively find files in the given directory

function find_files($mydir){

global $results;

if(($tdir=@opendir($mydir))!==false){
  while($f=readdir($tdir)){
    if($f!="." and $f!=".."){
      if(is_dir($mydir."/".$f)){
        // directory found
        if(find_files($mydir."/".$f)>=1000) return count($results);
      }
      elseif(is_file($mydir."/".$f)){
        // file found
        if(count($results)>=1000) return count($results);
        $results[]=$mydir."/".$f;             
      }
    }
  }  
  closedir($tdir);
}
return count($results);

}
[/php]

Here is how to use this function:
[php]<?php
$results = array();
find_files(’…/’);

if(count($results)) foreach($results as $line) echo $line."
\n";
?>[/php]
