Hi. I am looking for a script that will simply list the file name of every file in a certain directory, and all it's sub directories. Is this possible, and does anyone know how to do it?

yes and yes

PHP Code:

function ListFiles($dir) {

    if($dh = opendir($dir)) {

        $files = Array();
        $inner_files = Array();

        while($file = readdir($dh)) {
            if($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file[0] != '.') {
                if(is_dir($dir . "/" . $file)) {
                    $inner_files = ListFiles($dir . "/" . $file);
                    if(is_array($inner_files)) $files = array_merge($files, $inner_files); 
                } else {
                    array_push($files, $dir . "/" . $file);
                }
            }
        }

        closedir($dh);
        return $files;
    }
}


foreach (ListFiles('/home/ibbo') as $key=>$file){
    echo $file ."<br />";
} 


This method useses recursion (it calls itself untill happy basically) to filter all the files in a given dir. If file returns as type dir then we enter it and poll all the files again untill we find no more dir's. We then drop back a dir and move to the next file repeating the process when we find another dir.

If file is not a dir we just append it to our list which we print out later.

Easy for some, confusing for others but likely to be behond most.
