Perhaps I misunderstand what the OP wanted. I thought he was running a
webserver somewhere, and that he wanted his remote webserver to be able to
grab a file listing on his local machine by just visiting a webpage there.
Of course PHP can query the local filesystem. I thought he wanted it to
query a remote filesystem.
