Hi Ro, how about this snippet ? <?PHP function Check_For_Final_Slash($path) { if (substr($path, (strlen($path) - 1), 1) != "\\") { $path = $path . "\\"; } return($path); } // $path: input the topmost folder to be searched function Get_Directory_Listing($path) { $path = Check_For_Final_Slash($path); if ($dir_handle = opendir($path)) { while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { chdir($path); if ($file != "..") { if (($file != ".")) { if (is_dir($file)) { chdir($path . $file); // in this case, I make up a HTML page with refs; you would call Get_Directory_Listing($path . $file) recursively here print("<FORM NAME='CHANGE_DIR' ACTION='index.html' METHOD='POST'>"); print("<INPUT TYPE='HIDDEN' NAME='PATH' VALUE='" . $path . $file . "'>"); print("<A HREF='#' onClick='submit();' >" . $file . "</A></INPUT>"); print("</FORM>"); } } else { // up one step; you would probably leave out this branch $file = substr($path, 0, strrpos(substr($path, 0, strlen($path) - 1), "\\")); print("<FORM NAME='CHANGE_DIR' ACTION='index.html' METHOD='POST'>"); print("<INPUT TYPE='HIDDEN' NAME='PATH' VALUE='" . $file . "'>"); print("<A HREF='#' onClick='submit();' >[ up one level ]</A></INPUT>"); print("</FORM>"); } } } closedir($dir_handle); } if ($dir_handle = opendir($path)) { while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { $path = Check_For_Final_Slash($path); chdir($path); if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..")) { if (is_file($file)) { // here comes the action; I spit out a handle, you may open, read end extract print("<A HREF='" . $path . $file . "'>" . $file . "</A><BR>"); } } } closedir($dir_handle); } } ?> -- Sven Schnitzke > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Herhuth, Ron [SMTP:Ron.Herhuth@tatumpartners.com] > Gesendet am: Montag, 22.
