Yeah, PHP can do that. Toss this in a web directory and pull it up in a browser. <?php $files = array(); $d = dir( './' ); while( false !== ( $entry = $d->read() ) ) { if( $entry != '.' && $entry != '..' && !is_dir( $entry ) ) { $files[] = $entry; } } sort( $files ); foreach( $files as $file ) { echo <<<EOF <a href="$file">$file</a><br /> EOF; } ?> -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer MySQL Core Certification http://destiney.com/
