Suggestion for displaying files..

[A JM]

I'm looking for some suggestions for allowing my users to view and download files from my site.

 

The files are contained in a single directory and I would like to allow the user to view a list of files in that directory and then be able to select them for downloading, singularly.

 

Anyone have any suggestions for the best way to present this to the user?

 

Thanks.

lolz, just let them go to the directory in their browser, right click, "Save Target As".  Done.

 

Or you could use something like this: http://thefilebrowser.com/

 

What kind of files are they?

They are .xls, .doc and maybe some images.

 

I'm looking for the best way to display them on an HTML page. Should I just create a hyperlink to each file and move on... just looking for some ideas.

 

Thanks,

Just loop through the directory and display all the files with a link.

 

$path = 'some path here';
$dir = dir($path);
while($file = $dir->read())
{
     echo $file . ' - <a href="' . $path . $file . '">' . $file . '</a>';
}

Thanks for the ideas.
