Thanks Andrew. I'll give it a try once I get back home (working & living in different cities).

Hello all, It's been while since I have written something here! One more thing; my knowledge about PHP is almost zero. Though I can understand syntax somewhat if explained. OK, I have my own photography site (http://kamranki.com:1300/images/photography/index.html) here. I want visitors to be able to leave their comments on photos page (something like comments on blog articles). My webserver setup is as follows: - Windows XP Professional SP3 - Abyss Web Server - PHP 5.2 for Windows Since port 80 is blocked by my ISP, I have to resort to using port 1300. Photo thumbnails link to separate HTML files: index01.html index02.html index03.html index04.html . . . and so on Since I'm looking for a simple setup, I don't mind having comments stored in a text file (I think that setting up a database could complicate things so not really interested in going that way). The text file could be a common text file for all photos (with sections dividing comments for each photo) or a separate text file for each photo. Something like: index01.html >> index01.txt index02.html >> index02.txt index03.html >> index03.txt index04.html >> index04.txt . . . and so on Managing comments from a separate console or panel is not really a priority as I can always edit the text file(s) by hand. I could look into that later. Any pinpointers would be really appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

Here's what I was able to manage; a simple listing of contents of c:\temp on the PC. But how can I make these files downloadable? I tried looking at some other sample scripts from around the web but was unable to get anything working.  :-[ Following are the contents of download.php: [hr] [font=Courier] <font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="black"> <?php if ($handle = opendir('c:\\temp')) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { echo "$file <br>"; } } } ?> [/font] [hr] It can be accessed at: [url=http://www.kamranki.com:1300/download/files/download.php]http://www.kamranki.com:1300/download/files/download.php[/url]

Yes Thorpe, you got it right. I want to display files from outside of the root. For example, files and folders from various different partitions.

Hello everyone, Since I'm a complete beginner, please excuse any errors or mistakes. I don't have any scripting experience to speak of but I mostly manage by copy and pasting. In most conditions, I am able to understand the syntax. I have set up a simple webserver for uploading files. It can be accessed at: [url=http://www.kamranki.com:1300/upload/user/upload.php]http://www.kamranki.com:1300/upload/user/upload.php[/url] The webserver machine uses the following: - Windows XP Professional SP2 - Abyss Web Server X1 - PHP I would like to list local folders and their contents on the webpage so that I can access my files from anywhere. I already have an FTP server running but I would also like to access my files through HTTP. I don't need a complex setup but rather a very simple listing of files from a specific folder on the hard drive. I should be able to download the file by clicking on it's name. I would like to know if there's a function for listing files from local folders. Any examples will do just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Kamran
