it shows one directory at a time, recursive isn't necessary. the production server is centos linux. do you think running the ls command instead of using the opendir php command would have better performance? sounds kinda.. like unnecessary complication. there are about 8000 page views a day. probably 95% of them require the listing of a directory's contents.
