Im currently using the method you describe to create and populate a drop own list. But I have to run it over a few pages because the some files are in the root and some are in folders. So at the moment i have select which folder I want to look in on the first page then select the file on the next page to build up the path. It works, but I was hoping to combine the pages using some sort of pop up window that shows a full directory tree so i can drill down to the file i want in one go. Sorry I wasn't clear about the file browser, I didnt mean the one for the operating system. I mean't using within php JS etc. Any further help would be great.

Hiya. I'm in the process of building a cms where users will need to link to files on the server. I have a system working but its not as good I wanted which lists the contents of a directory to a drop down list. The app works over a few pages so I can get the value I want and store it in the database. What im looking for is a widget with a button next to text field in a form that brings up a file browser window. Then I want to be able to browse the directory tree to the file I want and pass the the full path value back to the form text field so I can save it in the database. I have looked a lot of the file managers out there, but can't find anything that fits, and I havent seen it done elsewhere this way. Any ideas on how this can be done or know of somewhere it has been done so i can look at the code. TIA Mark.
