[simple idea for a php script...]

Hi,
I want to make a site where you can add flash applets. For this I need to simple codes, but I'm a PHP newbie, so I need some help.
1: I need a code producing a link list of all files in a directory on my server.
2: I need a code that makes a form where you can enter the flash applet url, flash applet name, a applet catergory (example: Movies), and where you can add a link to the creator of the applet. When you submit this form, a website should be created with the applet in the specific category/directory.

I don't know how to make these codes.. has someone got the codes I need?

[PHP RSS/RDF Syndication]

Has anyone got an idea how to solve the text formatting problem that I have with this?

[PHP RSS/RDF Syndication]

Hey, I wanted to ask a simple question. I wanted to syndicate a IGN RSS Feed, the only problem is that the text/font formatting is messed up. The text and the Links are way to big (font size 20px or something). Does anybody know how to format this RSS feed? I allready have CSS formatting in the page where I syndicate this, but it doesn't work on this feed... I don't get it.. Does anybody have a clue? The piece of code is beneath...
Thanks in advance people!

The $rss_channel array will be filled with data from the feed,
every RSS feed is different by by and large it should contain:

By default it retrives the Reuters Oddly Enough RSS feed. The data is put into the array

People, I want to ask for your help with a simple problem, I want to start learning PHP. However, my browser can't parse local PHP files, I downloaded the PHP.net installation, but still local files remain blank... Could anyone solve this (probably) easy problem? I have windows ME installed, maybe that's the problem...
