Shell Programming and Scripting

how would i go about having a index.php page in a folder, in the folder several files named greece.rar and france.rar and other countrys. could php get a list of these, put the names into a table, listed downwards, and the file-names clickable to open that file.?

Not exactly sure of what you want, but if you create a link from a page to a directory (and not a file) that doesn't have a index.htm or index.html, then it will show everything listed in the directory and even show the type of file (if it can figure it out).

From one page add a link to a directory underneath.
Put some different files into it (text, command, executable).
You should get back a which list the files and a link back up to the parent directory. (At least on Apache 1.3 on Solaris) And the filenames are links to open the files - I've never tried scripts in there (to see if they run) or executables. Don't think I would want to have other folks running stuff they can see the code to.

These scripts I wrote demonstrate how to play with directories:

RTM: If httpd.conf is configured properly, and the PHP module is installed, index.php files will be displayed... just like www.unix.com/index.php
