Great for getting, say a list of Word docs available for downloading in a directory, and creating
links to them.

<?
function listFilesInDir($start_dir)
        {
        
        /*
        returns an array of files in $start_dir (not recursive)
        */
                
        $files = array();
        $dir = opendir($start_dir);
        while(($myfile = readdir($dir)) !== false)
                {
                if($myfile != '.' && $myfile != '..' && !is_file($myfile) && $myfile !
= 'resource.frk' && !eregi('^Icon',$myfile) )
                        {
                        $files[] = $myfile;
                        }
                }
        closedir($dir);
        return $files;
        }
?>

Example:
<?
$dir = 'downloads/wordDocs/public/topic_1';
$wordDocs = listFilesInDir($dir);

foreach($wordDocs as $key => $fileName)
        {
        echo "<a href='{$dir}/{$fileName}'>{$fileName}</a><br />";
        }
?>


?>
