yes I did, it is wrong all together and is supposed to be like this
$it = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/store'.$_GET['location']);

Yes it will only show me the folder structure, ie. no files. Here I have some
unfinished string work to do, but in each of those if elseif and else I want
to sort.

Here I wrote a lot of execuse why I didn't do that, I changed my mind after 10
lines, I love that Idea, I just thought like make an appendix for each
append. This is not probably what you was thinking of, but I'm going to use
that one. Thats for appending though, what about each time I write a new
file, and the file is empty.
Searching for position here probably isn't the best solution since the fastest
method is just to start read it right.

fwrite($dynfile, "$path\n");
this works satisfyingly, short pretty 1line. BUT I'm always in for suggestions
