Is it necessary to generate the file listing based on the directory listing?
If your database is updated each time a file is uploaded, then you've got a
list of all files. If your database is incomplete because there were
pre-existing files or because there are other ways of placing files into the
directory, then get a directory listing (do this periodically, if necessary)
and update your database.
