Want a really simply file directory viewer? Take out the comments and it's obfuscated!

<?php
// grab a full file listing from the current and sub directories and show them as anchored
//(linked) files.

// pull a full file listing - requires the Unix 'find' and 'sort commands. 'find' will retrieve a
//list of all files from the current directory, 'sort' will sort the listing, and 'explode' will split
//all files into an array passed into $filelist.

$filelist = explode("\n",`find .|sort`);

// for each item (file) in the array...

for ($count=0;$count<count($filelist);$count++) {

// get the filename (including preceding directory, ie: ./software/gth1.0.9.tar.gz)

$filename=$filelist[$count];

// if it's not a directory, display linked

if (!is_dir($filename))
printf("<a href=\"%s\">%s</a><br>\n",$filename,$filename);

// otherwise tell the user it's a "category"

else printf("<p>Category: %s<p>\n",$filename);
}

?>

HI.. nice script.. Just what I was looking for.

Now what I did, was this... :)

I placed a symbolic directory as a subdirectory of the 
html-directory, that points to my mounted mp3 directory 
located in the ftp directory (phju.. :) Then, I modifed 
your script a bit...

At the top, I added a chdir("./mp3"); to go into this 
symbolic directory.
Then I made a str_replace in the $filelist to remove the 
beginning "./" on each file. Looks like this now:

$filelist = explode("\n", str_replace("./","",`find .|sort`));

further on the anchor part looks like this, to point the 
browser towards the ftp, and not the http:

printf("&lt;dd&gt;&lt;a href=\"ftp://ftp.domain.com/mp3/%
s\"&gt;%s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;\n",$filename,$filename);

So with a tiny modification, I can now list my ftp server`s 
mp3 catalog with php, and make a list of anchors on a 
http page. I`m proud since this is one of my first scripts.
Next I will do an individually download/counter for each 
file, and a top20 downloaded page :)

All of this to be my "computer gathering" way of sharing 
what I got :)

And again.. thnx. man! Your a life saver I guess :)

hm this dosent work for me. i just copied it to try it out for the first time and i get a security warning. 

"Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /www/htdocs/w006ecb7/listfiles.php on line 18"

line 18 seems to be the explode funtion one. is there an alternative to this?
