I have just installed a test server on my mac, I created an HTML page, now I would like to write a php code to look in a particular folder on the site and create an XML file with the content of that folder. The problem is: I do not know PHP, I just started learning about arrays , and I have no clue how to approach this. I am not using a database, just a folder on in the same folder where the index.html file is. Is there a function to look in a folder and return the contents, or do i need to write one myself? PLEASE HELP. THANKS A MILLION
