Ave,

This is what I'm trying to do; I want to read a directory (eg: W:\Test \) and take all the filenames found in the directory (eg: 1.vox, 2.wav, 3.txt) and store them in a simple mySQL table.

Can I do this?

You'll probably want to look at the readdir() function. The manual page
also has dozens of different example scripts that would be easy to tweak
for your purpose.

I use the glob function in my little homemade "web cam" page, which can really swell up in memory when used against a large amount of files (in my case around 30k files).
=====
$imgdir = 'img/south*';
$files = glob( $imgdir );

// Sort files by modified time, latest to earliest
// Use SORT_ASC in place of SORT_DESC for earliest to latest
array_multisort( array_map( 'filemtime', $files ), SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC, $files );

DISCLAIMER: I found this code on a how-to somewhere out there and modified it to fit my need. Quite possibly there are much better means to this end.
