That's what I'll do then: use shell_exec().

So this really shouldn't be a deciding factor then.
Anyway, I've got it working out. I have it returning
an array of filenames if successful. If it's a
successful call, but no files exists (for instance
*.html with no HTML files), then it returns 0. If it
can't read the directory or the dir doesn't exist, it
returns NULL.
Just to make sure, I can do this:
if($files = GetFileListing("htmls\*.html")) {
.
.
.
}
and it will skip it if there either are no HTML files,
oe htmls doesn't exist, right? If I get a 0 or a NULL
return? (I figure, if I need to distinguish between
these two, I can always do a $==0 or $==NULL comparison).
