is there a php/html script to view all the files in the current directory, cos on one of my webpages, the server only views filename not file size when u dont have an index.html file....

thx... ps, i prefer html script... but either is fine... ;)

Do you know php? Or perl? You could write a script to run ls and generate an html file based on the output, that's what I would do =]

Something like this should work...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI;

my $cgi = new CGI();

print $cgi->header, $cgi->start_html("Directory Listing");
print $cgi->hr;
print $cgi->br;
print `ls -h -l -a`;
print $cgi->br;
print $cgi->hr;
print $cgi->end_html;

That should work... I didn't debug (or even test it), but it's pretty simple :).

welp, this was on my list of to-do's for a website i've been working on.. so i decided to go ahead and get it done now and help both of us out ;o)

(disclaimer: i've only been working with php for a less than a week)

here is the code that will:

1. be accessed by http://www.yourdomain.com/file.php?admin=edit_content
2. then, once you change $directory (only) in ($admin == "edit_content") ifblock it will dynamically create a dropdown of every file and directory *from* the directory specified in $directory.
3. based on if you choose a file or directory (which the script figures out) it will either bring you to another dropdown box identical to the first one, or it will display a textbox where you can edit the contents and save them (to the original file or a different one).

any other questions or confusion, let me know.. i'm sure i messed up somewhere along the line ;o)

(it's rather long.. sorry.. html and all ;o)
