Try this :
<?php
$fp = popen ("/bin/ls ", "r");
while(!feof($fp))
{$buffer = fgets($fp,4096);
echo "\n<br><li> <a href=".chr(34).$buffer.chr(34).">".$buffer."</a>";}
pclose($fp)
?>
s> Here is my problem,

s> This is how I would do it in perl/CGI
s> @stuff = same as above
s> foreach $filename (@stuff){
s> next if $filename !~ /(inc$/i;
s> print = "<a href=\"$author/$filename\">$filename</a>";
s> }
s> I need something pretty much the same in php...I just don't know why it

s> thanks for your time in advance.,
